The aging of polymer-composites is a ubiquitous problem that leads to the degradation of
mechanical properties, reducing the service life of an engineered structure, and …

A significant step in reducing the effects of greenhouse gases is obtaining electric energy
from renewable sources. Electricity from tidal currents using underwater turbines is one of …

A novel material and process was developed using fibre-reinforced powder-epoxy to
produce unidirectional towpreg with a pilot-scale towpregging line, for cost-effective …

Electricity generated from tidal streams via underwater turbines has significantly lower
greenhouse gas emissions than fossil-fuel derived electricity. However, tidal stream turbine …

Renewable energy allows electricity generation with lower environmental and resource
impact than generation from fossil fuels. However, the manufacture, use and ultimate …

Key factors in tidal turbine development are capital cost reduction and structural integrity and
reliability of tidal device blades. Addressing demand for increased capacity of the horizontal …

This paper studied the effect of increasing pulsed magnetic field (PMF) voltage during
treating a Fe-34Mn-10Al-0.76 C steel alloy used in fabricating a blade to be installed in a …

This dissertation documents and explains the development and optimization of a floating-
type tidal current turbine system that is capable to improve the power output in underrated …

Offshore wind turbines (OWT) are gaining in size and capacity, thereby becoming more cost
effective as power plants. However, the larger size of turbines and their positioning in the …

Renewable energy allows electricity generation with lower environmental and resource
impact than generation from fossil fuels. However, the manufacture, use and ultimate …
