2. 1. Dynamic Characteristics of Floating Breakwaters

   Author : Aurora Xiaomeng Lei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; floating breakwaters; couplings joints ; dynamic cables; dynamic response; line tension; wave attenuation; wave reflection;

   Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of interconnected floating breakwaters has been studied theoretically and experimentally. For this type of shore-protection system, problems that must be dealt with include wave loads on the breakwaters caused by the interaction between the bodies and the waves, motions of the moored breakwaters caused by the waves, changed wave fields in front of and behind the breakwaters, and forces on the mooring cables and in interconnections between breakwater units.

4. 2. Non-Linear Vibration and Dynamic Fracture Mechanics of Bridge Cables

   Author : Armando Leon; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cable Vibrations; Non-Linear Vibration; Dynamic Fracture Mechanics; Cable-Stayed Bridges; Dynamic Stress Intensity Factor;

   Abstract : In the present work, the non-linear vibrations and the corresponding dynamic fracture mechanics of cables of cable-stayed bridges are studied. The cables are among the most critical components in cable-stayed bridges and there are different damage sources such as corrosion, vibration, fatigue and fretting fatigue that can significantly affect them, thereby reducing the cable’s service life and even producing their failure.

5. 3. Response of cable-stayed and suspension bridges to moving vehicles : Analysis methods and practical modeling techniques

   Author : Raid Karoumi; KTH; []
   Keywords : cable-stayed bridge; suspension bridge; Great Belt suspension bridge; bridge moving loads; traffic-induced vibrations bridge-vehicle interaction; dynamic analysis; cable element; finite element analysis; finite diffrence method; tuned mass damper; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a state-of-the-art-review and twodifferent approaches for solving the moving load problem ofcable-stayed and suspension bridges. The first approach uses a simplified analysis method tostudy the dynamic response of simple cable-stayed bridgemodels. READ MORE

6. 4. Analysis of Fatigue Characteristics in Mooring Lines and Low Voltage Cables for Wave Energy Converters

   Author : Shun-Han Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave energy converter; de-coupled analysis; power cable; fatigue; dynamic cable; heaving point absorber; mooring line; coupled analysis; power absorption; marine biofouling effect on absorbed power; low voltage cable; catenary mooring chain; marine biofouling effect on fatigue;

   Abstract : To reduce both carbon emission and fossil fuel consumption, there is a pressing need for the exploitation of renewable sources of energy such as biomass, hydropower, solar power, waves, and wind. This thesis addresses the application of wave energy, which has a large potential to contribute to the world’s renewable emission-free energy supply. READ MORE

7. 5. Characterization of Conduction and Polarization Properties of HVDC Cable XLPE Insulation Materials

   Author : Hossein Ghorbani; Hans Edin; Erling Ildstad; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HVDC insulation; power cable insulation; cross-linked polyethylene insulation; conductivity; dielectric losses; space charge; HVDC isolation; kraftkabel isolation; tvärbunden polyeten isolationsmaterial; elektrisk ledningsförmåga; dielektriska förluster; rymdladdning; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Since its first introduction in 1998, extruded direct current (DC) cable technology has been growing rapidly leading to many cable system installations with operation voltages up to 320 kV. Cable manufacturers invest heavily on technology development in this field and today extruded DC cable systems for operation voltages as high as 525 kV are commercially available. READ MORE
