Heave plates exert a unique influence on the motions of marine structures floating in seas or
oceans. Due to their low thickness and sharp edges, the hydrodynamic performance of …

Hydraulic turbines include stationary and rotating components. The interaction of the
components, mainly between the runner blades and distributor vanes, is critical when the …

Due to the abundant wind energy in deep water, floating offshore wind turbines (FWTs),
especially for the semisubmersible FWTs, have attracted more attention these years. To …

Hydrodynamic forces on heave plates for a semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine
are discussed herein. A model of one of the platform columns has been built. This allows for …

Heave plates have been widely utilized in floating offshore structures as they can provide
additional dam** and added mass to improve the hydrodynamic response of the system …

In this paper, we study flexural vibrations of a cantilever beam with thin rectangular cross
section submerged in a quiescent viscous fluid and undergoing oscillations whose …

The heave plate is the key component of a Spar platform as it can effectively improve the
heave response of the platform system by providing additional dam** and added mass …

We study nonlinear vibrations of cantilever beams oscillating in viscous fluids. A handleable
expression for the inertial and dam** loads due to the encompassing fluid is proposed …

The nonlinear viscous flow problem associated with a heaving vertical cylinder with two
heave plates in the form of two circular disks attached is solved using a finite difference …

Slender sharp-edged flexible beams such as flap** wings of micro air vehicles (MAVs),
piezoelectric fans and insect wings typically oscillate at moderate-to-high values of non …
