Real-Time Mooring Tension Prediction for Semi-Submersible Aquaculture Platforms by an EEMD-TCN-SA Neural Network Approach

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Precise prediction of mooring tension is essential for the safety and operational efficiency of semi-submersible aquaculture platforms. Traditional numerical methods struggle with real-time performance due to the nonlinear and dynamic characteristics of ...

The Breakdown and Self‐Clearing Performance During the Energy Harvesting Process of Dielectric Elastomer Generators Using Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes Electrodes

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For dielectric elastomer generators (DEG), electrical breakdown is the main failure mode during their working cycle. The application of self‐clearing electrodes is of great significance to avoid a single breakdown leading to the failure of the entire generator.

Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]

, 1995
One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.

Numerical modeling of a mooring line system for an offshore floating wind turbine in Vietnamese sea conditions using nonlinear materials

Water Science and Engineering
The offshore renewable energy industry has been developing farms of floating offshore wind turbines in water depths up to 100 m. In Vietnam, floating offshore wind turbines have been developed to increase the production of clean and sustainable energy ...

A Family Affair: The Uses and Abuses of Vicarious Identity in Political Rhetoric During the 2024 General Election

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 UK general election saw candidates make frequent rhetorical references to parents and grandparents. But what are the political functions and implications of such references? Drawing together recent research in political psychology and sociology, this article interprets such references as attempts to articulate ‘vicarious identities ...

Experimental and Parametric Study on Mechanical and Motion Responses of a Novel Air-Floating Tripod Bucket Foundation with Taut Mooring

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In the present study, a novel air-floating tripod bucket foundation (AFTBF) with taut mooring is proposed. The mechanical and motion response characteristics of this foundation were investigated through model tests.

Frequency-domain modeling of floating wind arrays with shared mooring lines [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
A frequency-domain model for floating wind turbine dynamics has been extended to model floating wind farms with couplings from shared mooring systems. The model, called RAFT, could previously calculate the mean offsets and wave-induced response spectra ...

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.
