A Novel Mooring Tether for Highly-Dynamic Offshore Applications; Mitigating Peak and Fatigue Loads via Selectable Axial Stiffness

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Highly-dynamic floating bodies such as wave energy convertors require mooring lines with particular mechanical properties; the mooring system must achieve adequate station keeping whilst controlling mooring tensions within acceptable limits.

Performance Evaluation of Carrying Capacity of Prestressed Bearers for Railway Turnouts Using Laboratory Experiments in Vietnam

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2022
Previous studies have addressed railway turnouts (switches and crossings), but research on the performance of 1000 mm gauge turnouts is limited. At present, wooden sleeper structures are used at turnouts in Vietnam.

Decomposition-Based Multi-Classifier-Assisted Evolutionary Algorithm for Bi-Objective Optimal Wind Farm Energy Capture

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
With the wake effect between different wind turbines, a wind farm generally aims to achieve the maximum energy capture by implementing the optimal pitch angle and blade tip speed ratio under different wind speeds.

T2FL: An Efficient Model for Wind Turbine Fatigue Damage Prediction for the Two-Turbine Case

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Wind farm load assessment is typically conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or aeroelastic simulations, which need a lot of computer power. A number of applications, for example wind farm layout optimisation, turbine lifetime estimation and

How Applicable Are Turbulence Assumptions Used in the Tidal Energy Industry?

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
As tidal current and marine hydro-kinetic energy converters start to be deployed in pre-commercial arrays, it is critical that the design conditions are properly characterised.

Simulation of Near-Tip Crack Behaviour and Its Correlation to Fatigue Crack Growth with a Modified Strip-Yield Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A modified strip-yield model has been developed to simulate the plasticity-induced crack closure under the constant amplitude (CA) and a single overload loading conditions.

Fatigue loading of tendon

open access: yesInternational Journal of Experimental Pathology, 2013
SummaryTendon injuries, often called tendinopathies, are debilitating and painful conditions, generally considered to develop as a result of tendon overuse. The aetiology of tendinopathy remains poorly understood, and whilst tendon biopsies have provided some information concerning tendon appearance in late‐stage disease, there is still little ...

Framework for Dynamic Evaluation of Muscle Fatigue in Manual Handling Work [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Muscle fatigue is defined as the point at which the muscle is no longer able to sustain the required force or work output level. The overexertion of muscle force and muscle fatigue can induce acute pain and chronic pain in human body. When muscle fatigue

Fracture behavior of low cycle fatigue and dwell fatigue of Ti6242 titanium alloy under high load

open access: yesJournal of Aeronautical Materials, 2019
As one kind of near alpha titanium alloys with excellent mechanical properties, Ti6242 alloy always shows the“dwell fatigue”characteristic, which is similar to other near α or α+β titanium alloys, especially at near room temperature.
