  • Hydrodynamic contact/impact modeling and application to ocean engineering problems

    Creator:
    Challa, Ravi
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...

  • Cable dynamics in an ocean environment

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    The nonlinear dynamic analysis of cable and cable-large body systems subject to both deterministic and non-deterministic loading is presented in this study. Nonlinearities occur due to large displacements, material nonlinearity, lack of stiffness in compression, and the non-conservative fluid loading. A finite element model is used to model the cable...

  • Optimization and control of cable deployment systems

    Creator:
    Mtira, Mohamed
    Abstract:
    An optimization methodology, algorithms, and computer program for cable/lumped-body deployment system are developed for the design and installation of sonar packages in deep ocean ranges. In addition, a methodology and algorithms for the control of the system are proposed. A penalty function is developed in terms of the system parameters...

  • Wave field patterns generated by wave energy converters

    Creator:
    McNatt, J. Cameron
    Abstract:
    The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...

  • GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

    Creator:
    Dutille, Victoria L.
    Abstract:
    Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...

  • Dynamics of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer

    Creator:
    Foster, Diane Lyn
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an examination of the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer under conditions of significant sediment response. Using both field observations and simple models, the response of the bottom boundary layer to random waves is shown to have a complex behavior. First, the linearized wave bottom boundary layer governing...

  • Ocean wave-soil-caisson interaction

    Creator:
    Tsai, Yau-tang
    Abstract:
    Caissons on permeable seabeds have been designed and constructed for a variety of needs in coastal and offshore engineering. An evaluation of the adequacy of the foundation beneath the structure is required for an economic and safe design. To address this requirement, a two-dimensional analytical model of the foundation response...

  • Ocean wave-soil-geotextile interaction

    Creator:
    McDougal, W. G. (William George)
    Abstract:
    Geotextiles are synthetic fabrics which may be substituted for graded aggregate to protect ocean and coastal structures from erosion and soil instability adjacent to the structure. They are commonly used as a filter and as a structural membrane between an undisturbed sediment surface below and an erosion resistant coarse aggregate...

  • On the nearshore impact of wave energy converter arrays

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika Magnuson
    Abstract:
    Radiation stresses, defined as the excess flow of momentum due to the presence of waves (Longuet-Higgins, 1964), are the main drivers behind the cross-shore and longshore forcing that results in wave setup, set-down, and longshore currents (e.g. Svendsen, 2006). Longshore currents entrain and transport sediment and therefore play an important...
