Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Barge-Type Breakwaters under Different Mooring Methods

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In this paper, a yacht project in Tingjiang Town, Mawei, Fujian, is suggested as an example of a barge type breakwater made out of scrap barges. The physical modelling of a two-dimensional flume wave test was carried out on a barge-type breakwater ...

Risk Assessment of Moored and Passing Ships

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Accidents in port areas are generally relatively minor given the lower prevailing speeds, but dangerous cargo terminals located in the vicinity of populated areas present some risk of accidents with catastrophic consequences. The maritime risk assessment

Proposal and Performance Study of a Novel Mooring System with Six Mooring Lines for Spar-Type Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Spar-type floating offshore wind turbines commonly vibrate excessively when under the coupling impact of wind and wave. The wind turbine vibration can be controlled by developing its mooring system.

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

Design and comparative analysis of mooring systems for a combined wind and wave energy system at intermediate water depth

open access: yesJournal of Ocean Engineering and Science
For intermediate water depths (typically ranging from 50 m to 80 m), designing steel catenary mooring systems for floating marine renewable energy (FMRE) platforms can be challenging due to the limited weight of suspended mooring lines.

A Deep Learning-Based Approach to Failure Detection in Mooring (Thin) Lines from Marine Images

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Mooring systems are incorporated from mooring (thin) lines that are constituted of fiber ropes, steel wires, and chains. Mooring systems are used for the stationary keeping of floating units during the drilling process of oil and gas from offshore deep ...
