Components and structures working in the marine environment are exposed to high stresses
attributable to the action of wind, waves, and tides. Moreover, they have to face hostile and …

The marine industry has been a major user of polymer composites for over 50 years. There
has been a strong historical preference for glass fibre reinforced thermoset polymers, mainly …

Tidal current turbine is one of the innovative and emerging technologies of marine
renewable energies because it offers constant and predictable energy source that can be …

Hydrokinetic energy conversion systems are the electromechanical devices that convert
kinetic energy of river streams, tidal currents, man-made water channels or waves into …

The hydrokinetic energy conversion system has capabilities to supply inevitable and
secured power which is obtained from free stream like ocean, river, and man-made channel …

Horizontal axis tidal turbines (HATT) conversion of ocean tidal waves into electricity
represents a promising source of clean and sustainable energy. However, the widespread …

In order to perform fatigue testing on tidal turbine blades, it is necessary to apply cyclic loads
that do not match the blade's natural frequency. This is due to the high stiffness of the blades …

Placing mechanical devices into fast-moving tidal streams to generate clean and predictable
electricity is a develo** technology. This review covers the fundamental fluid mechanics of …

This paper presents a structural performance study of a fibre-reinforced composite blade for
a 1 MW tidal turbine rotor blade that was designed for a floating tidal turbine device. The 8-m …

Tidal current energy shows great attractiveness as it stores an enormous amount of
predictable sustainable resources that can be extracted and used for commercial power …
