Prototype testing of the wave energy converter wave dragon [PDF]
The Wave Dragon is an offshore wave energy converter of the overtopping type. It consists of two wave reflectors focusing the incoming waves towards a ramp, a reservoir for collecting the overtopping water and a number of hydro turbines for converting the pressure head into power.

Testing BSM physics with gravitational waves
Abstract The Cosmic Gravitational Wave Background (CGWB) is an irreducible background of gravitational waves generated by particle exchange in the early Universe plasma. Standard Model particles contribute to such a stochastic background with a peak at f∼80 GHz.

Plane Wave Reverse Time Image for Nondestructive Tests
Reverse time migration (RTM) has been a popular method in industry duo to its ability of imaging complex subsurface and no dip restriction. However, RTM based on full matric capture (FMC) data is limited by the time cost of the calculation and cannot be ...

Effect of Wave Attenuation on Shear Wave Velocity Determination Using Bender Element Tests
Wave attenuation is a widespread physical phenomenon in most acoustic tests, but there is a scarcity of quantitative investigations into the influence of wave attenuation on the determination of shear wave travel time in bender element tests.

The Test Ability of an Adaptive Pulse Wave for ADC Testing [PDF]
In the conventional ADC production test method, a high-quality analogue sine wave is applied to the Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC), which is expensive to generate. Nowadays, an increasing number of ADCs are integrated into a system-on-chip (SoC) platform design, which usually contains a digital embedded processor.
