  2. 1. Analysis of Power Performance and Mooring Fatigue Damage for Wave Energy Parks

    Author : Xinyuan Shao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mooring fatigue; power output; WEC; SESAM; potential theory; wave energy park; CFD; STAR-CCM ;

    Abstract : Wave energy has been recognized as a promising alternative to traditional energy sources due to its cleanliness and sustainability. To harness this energy, wave energy converters (WECs) are utilized. READ MORE

  4. 2. Acoustical Measurements of Material Nonlinearity and Nonequilibrium Recovery

    Author : Kristian Haller; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear acoustics; nondestructive testing; activation density; slow dynamics; nonequilibrium recovery; resonance frequency; nonlinear wave modulation spectroscopy; harmonic generation; trapped modes; open resonator; sweep rate; constant strain sweep;

    Abstract : A damaged material or a material with non perfect atomic geometry, dislocations or cracks, exhibits two types of characteristic responses to acoustic excitations. First is the fast nonlinear dynamics response that is present as long as the material is excited. As soon as the excitation stops the response disappear. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Modelling of Train Induced Ground Vibrations with Analytical Methods

    Author : Anders Karlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground vibrations; train; wave propagation; dynamic flexibility; trench; railway track; vibration isolation; wave barrier; soil-structure interaction;

    Abstract : A novel analytical approach to model train induced ground vibrations is proposed. Integral transform solutions are combined with series solutions to obtain fast numericalalgorithms, where a particular designed boundary condition for finite regions is seen to enable the solution procedure.

  6. 4. Strong blast wave interaction with multiphase media

    Author : Sembian Sundarapandian; Nicholas Apazidis; Konstantinos Kontis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Blast waves; negative pressure; cavitation; blast wave attenuation; RMI; KHI; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : The interaction of a blast wave propagating in air with different fluids like water column, aqueous foam and thermal/density inhomogeneity have been studied both experimentally and numerically. The blast waves were generated at atmospheric conditions in a newly constructed exploding wire facility. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combination of optical methods for studies in combustion and wave propagation

    Author : Roger Mattsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimentell mekanik; Experimental Mechanics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, different optical methods were combined for studies of combustion processes in gases and transient wave propagation in plates and water. Pulsed TV holography was used in all these projects. READ MORE
