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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A plate‐wave energy converter (pWEC) moored in front of a floating stationary breakwater is
considered. The pWEC is composed of a submerged flexible plate with piezoelectric layers …

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

This paper explores the use of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to improve the
aerodynamic stability of compressible flow around a vibrating cylinder. In uncontrolled …
