Chen, Jieyan (2012-10-19)The increased interest in the offshore wind resource in both industry and academic and the extension of the wind field where offshore wind turbine can be deployed has stimulated quite a number of offshore wind turbines ...
-
Bae, Yoon Hyeok (2013-04-23)In the present study, a numerical simulation tool has been developed for the rotor-floater-tether coupled dynamic analysis of Multiple Unit Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (MUFOWT) in the time domain including aero-blade-tower ...
-
Cifuentes Salazar, Cristian Alejandro (2016-03-24)The accurate computation of forces and corresponding deformation of cages subjected to waves and current loading is critical to the design of mooring systems for fish farms. In the present work, a complete methodology ...
-
Kim, Young-Bok (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A computer program, WINPOST-MULT, is developed for the dynamic analysis of a multiple-body floating system coupled with mooring lines and risers in the presence of waves, winds and currents. The coupled dynamics program ...
-
Kim, Min Suk (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A numerical scheme, known as CABLE3D, originally developed for the simulation of dynamics of steel chain-wire mooring lines is extended to allow for the large elongation in a mooring line, the dependence of the modulus on ...
-
Jia, Dongxing 1984- (2012-11-15)The Unidirectional Hybrid Wave Model (UHWM) predicts irregular wave kinematics and pressure accurately in comparison with its linear counterpart and modification, especially near the free surface. Hence, in using the ...
-
Zhang, Jun (2014-06-02)The first essay, “Local Institutional Investors and the Maturity Structure of Corporate Debt”, examines the relation between the geographic proximity of a firm’s institutional shareholders and its debt maturity choices. ...
-
Wei, Wan-Yi (2014-11-26)Sphere slamming pressures and corresponding jetting flow fields were studied in an experimental approach. Correlations between sphere impacting forces and jetting flow occurrences were explored. Pressure sensor was used ...
-
Zhang, Jun (2017-11-29)The primary goal of this research is to develop test methodologies to characterize fracture and fatigue performances of chemically stabilized soils and asphalt mixtures. The fracture resistance of a chemically stabilized ...
