Resulting from the action of wind over open water surfaces, water waves contain colossal amounts of energy that has not yet been harnessed. Seen as a very promising source for renewable energy generation, many studies have tried to make wave energy a cost competitive source by investigating optimal designs of...
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...
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...
