Sustainable power sources have become indispensable in modern society. The most
promising renewable sources of energy are wind and ocean, which are widely distributed …

Since the introduction of the concept of very large floating structure (VLFS), research in this
area has become increasingly intensive. VLFSs have the potential to serve various functions …

There has been a significant interest in develo** Flexible Wave Energy Converters
(FlexWECs) that utilise structural deformations to generate electricity and mitigate …

An understanding of the hydroelastic response of a flexible circular plate to water waves is
relevant to many problems in ocean engineering ranging from offshore wave energy …

An analytical model is applied to investigate the dynamic performance of a type of hybrid
system (PAWT) with a semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) coupled to an …

In this paper, a concept of a floating elastic wave energy converter consisting of a disk-
shaped elastic plate is proposed. The floating plate is moored to the seabed through a …

Floating photovoltaic is predicted to be the most ubiquitous energy technology in the future,
with global installations projected to reach 10 GW by 2030, potentially generating 13.5 TWh …

We present a theoretical model to investigate the hydrodynamics of a floating flexible
circular wave energy converter (WEC). Decomposition in rigid and bending elastic modes of …

In this paper, water wave interaction with an array of thin submerged horizontal circular
plates is investigated within the framework of linear potential flow theory. To consider a more …

The load-bearing capacity is a pivotal consideration in the design of offshore renewable
energy structures. This paper aims to address the technical challenges associated with the …
