  • 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...

  • Near-inertial motions off the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Anderson, Iain
    Abstract:
    Nearly three months of current meter records from five moorings off the Oregon coast taken between October 1977 and January 1978 were analyzed for near-inertial motions. The moorings were located from the midshelf out to the foot of the continental slope, spanning the continental margin. All but two of the...

  • 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...

  • Shore protection structures in Oregon : An analysis of demand and the implementation of engineering recommendations

    Creator:
    Chenault, Carla Diane and Chenault, Carla D.
    Abstract:
    Stabilization structures are the most commonly used form of shore protection along the Oregon coast. Eighty-five percent of the hard stabilization structures built in Oregon from 1976 – 1999 were riprap revetments. An evaluation was conducted of 143 riprap revetments in the northern three counties of Oregon. Clear trends exist...

  • Time-domain modeling of heaving point absorber wave energy converters, including power take-off and mooring

    Creator:
    Ruehl, Kelley
    Abstract:
    Wave energy conversion is still in its infancy, and in order for it to become a commercially viable technology, developers, investors and utilities need to estimate a Wave Energy Converter's (WEC's) performance for the wave climate of a potential installation site. With the goal of estimating a design's power output...

  • Modeling, simulation, and analysis of two hydraulic power take-off systems for wave energy conversion

    Creator:
    Casey, Sean (Sean Michael)
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic power take-off (PTO) systems have been implemented in several wave energy converter (WEC) designs in recent years. Two popular hydraulic PTO configurations coupled to a point absorber hydrodynamic model are simulated in waves representative of an energetic sea state likely to be found in deep waters off the coast...

  • Design of a waterjet system for excavation of commercial crab pots buried in ocean sediment

    Creator:
    Le Febvre, Patrick Elmer
    Abstract:
    The design of a more efficient waterjet system for excavation of commercial crab pots buried in ocean sediment was undertaken. The work resulted in the design of an improved nozzle with performance that was shown to be significantly better than that of previously used nozzles. Greater sand penetration and excavation...

  • An investigation on the modeling of wave field transformation and shoreline morphology near steep bathymetric features

    Creator:
    Michalsen, David R.
    Abstract:
    Steep bathymetric anomalies in the beach profile, such as offshore borrow pits, submerged breakwaters, and nearshore canyons can significantly transform the wave climate through the effects of refraction, diffraction, and reflection. When located in the nearshore region the modified wave climate can also substantially change the location of breaking and...

  • 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...

  • Ocean electric energy extraction opportunities

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The world's oceans contain tremendous renewable energy potentials. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world [1]. This thesis provides a comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art of ocean energy extraction technologies and lessons learned from...
