  • Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

    Creator:
    Xiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

  • Methodology for evaluating mechanical power in small-scale WEC experiments

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) are a broad class of emerging technology that converts hydrokinetic energy into some other useful form, such as electricity. The last stage in this transformation, the power take-off (PTO) subsystem, is often not experimentally evaluated until half-way through the recommended development process. This delay in evaluation...
