Abstract:

There is a good deal of uncertainty and sensitivity in the results for wave impact. In a practical situation, many parameters such as the wave climate will not be known with any accuracy especially the frequency and severity of wave breaking. Even if the wave spectrum is known, this is usually recorded offshore, requiring same sort of (linear) transfer function to estimate the wave climate at the seawall. What is more, the higher spectral moments will generally be unknown. Wave breaking, according to linear wave theory, is known to depend on the wave spectrum, see Srokosz (1986) and Greenhow (

Abstract:

The amount of energy enclosed in ocean waves has been classified as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Nowadays, different wave energy conversion (WEC) systems are being investigated, but only a few concepts have been operated in a sea environment. One of the largest challenges is to guarantee the offshore survivability of the devices in extreme wave conditions. However, there are large uncertainties related to the prediction of extreme wave loads on WECs. Highfidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can resolve nonlinear hydrodynamic effects associated with wa

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The hydrodynamics of wave impact on offshore structures is not well understood. Wave impacts often involve large deformations of water free-surface. Therefore, a wave impact problem is usually combined with a free-surface problem. The complexity is expanded when the body exposed to a wave impact is allowed to move. The nonlinear interactions between a moving body and fluid is a complicated process that has been a dilemma in the engineering design of offshore and coastal structures for a long time. This thesis used experimental and numerical means to develop further underst

Abstract:

This Master Thesis deals with non-linear wave impacts on monopile structures by introducing a potential flow solver named OceanWave3D (OCW3D) for simulating free surface waves and their kinematics under engineering consideration. A comparison to Rambøll’s analytical tool WAVGEN is conducted with the aim of providing distinct recommendations on the application and suitability of both programs for the monopile design. As WAVGEN applies common wave theories it is able to generate single waves in linear or non-linear form but only linear irregular sea states. In contrary, OCW3D includes both the n

Abstract:

This PhD thesis focuses on quantifying the impact of oscillator phase noise on the design of MMW CW radar systems with the goal of optimising the system to achieve better target detection and tracking. Phase noise in the transmitters of radar systems is known to distort the target response by broadening the linewidth and raising the noise floor of radar systems when a strong scatterer is present in the scene, hence degrading the detection and tracking performance. The situation is worse when multiple large scatterers are present, as the noise sidebands of all scatterers superimpose causing sma

Local and global loadings, which may cause the local damage and/or global failure and collapse of offshore structures and ships, are experimentally investigated in this study. The big research question is how the aeration of water and the elasticity of the structural section affect loading during severe environmental conditions. A further question is how the scattered waves from ships and offshore structures, the mooring line force and the structural response, which are known to affect local load and contribute to global load, will be affected by wave-structure interaction of a ship or offshor

The forced vibration of a partially delaminated structure such as an aircraft wing can result in catastrophic crack growth.

We investigate a number of aspects of this system, using mathematical models to gain insight into its behaviour.

In this thesis the application of impact waves in the plastic deformation mode and explosive welding are discussed.

As many of the world’s nuclear power plants are near the end of their supposed life span a need arise to assess the components crucial to the safety of these plants.

Traditional testing of concrete structures has comprised of drilling out a sample and performing stress tests on it, but because of the radioactive environment inside the containment this method is far from ideal.

Consequently, the structure is exposed to loading by unbroken, breaking and broken waves. When the breaking occurs, wave loading leads to complex phenomena that cannot be described
