Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions.
Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high …

We consider the motion of a thin elastic plate with non-uniform thickness. The plate is either
submerged and has some inclination with the vertical or is floating on the upper surface of …

This paper presents a dynamic analysis of a two-raft wave energy conversion device based
on the three-dimensional wave radiation-diffraction method. The device consists of two …

In the present paper the functionality of the Semisubmersible wind energy and Flap-type
wave energy Converter (SFC) is examined experimentally. In order to study the functionality …

Even though semi-sheltered sea areas usually have limited wave energy resources, some
regions of such basins may still be suitable for wave energy production. We provide a review …

The present paper focuses on the determination of optimum layouts for linear arrays of
heaving Wave Energy Converters (WECs) in front of a vertical wall. Optimum layouts …

A three-dimensional general mathematical hydroelastic model dealing with the problem of
wave interaction with a floating and a submerged flexible structure is developed based on …

The effect of structural flexibility on the maximum wave energy conversion by two
interconnected floaters is investigated. For the wave energy converter (WEC), the relative …

An analytical study associated with surface gravity wave interaction with a horizontal flexible
floating and a submerged porous plate is presented under linearized water wave theory and …

This paper is concerned with the reduction of hydroelastic responses of pontoon-type very
large floating structures (VLFS) via the use of vertical elastic mooring lines connected at the …
