ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

ABSTRACT Ocean wave energy has enormous potential for sustainable power generation but conventional technologies often face challenges in efficiency, durability, and adaptability to specific sites. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are able to convert irregular and low frequency water motion into electrical energy, but their performance depends on ...

Abstract Open‐water low‐trophic aquaculture (LTA) is a sustainable method for producing ocean‐based food and providing ecosystem services. An effective system design is critical for mitigating risks posed by deep ocean forces. Developing submersible cultivation technology requires quantitative risk analysis and modeling to address offshore challenges ...

Introduction of variability in pantograph-catenary dynamic simulations [PDF]
Currently, pantograph-catenary dynamic simulations codes are mainly based on deterministic approaches. However, the contact force between catenary and pantograph depends on many key parameters that are not always quantified precisely.

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...

Spatio‐Temporal Alignment of On‐Board Sensors for Railway Systems
ABSTRACT To address the challenges of obstacle detection in railway environments, this paper proposes a highly robust perception method based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and camera fusion. The core of this method is an innovative spatio‐temporal alignment framework designed to resolve the critical issue of spatio‐temporal misalignment in ...
