Uncertainty analysis of a WEC model test experiment

open access: yes, 2021
Ocean wave energy has significant technical potential but limited full-scale deployments and technology convergence. Consequently, guidelines for developing wave energy converters (WECs) are still developing themselves, especially around experimental ...

Impact of Wave Resource Description on WEC Energy Production Estimates

open access: yes, 2021
International audiencePower production estimates are essential in the development of wave energy converter (WEC) concepts. They rely on two key elements: a characterisation of the wave resource and a model of the WEC.

Serial sectioning investigation of butterfly and white etching crack (WEC) formation in wind turbine gearbox bearings

open access: yes, 2013
Premature wind turbine gearbox bearing failures in the form of white structure flaking (WSF) can occur in as little as 6–24 months of operation. WSF is not fully understood but is thought to be due to hydrogen release and diffusion into the bearing steel

HERMES system: A virtual reality simulator for the angioplasty intervention training

open access: yes, 2005
One of the essential requirements in order to have a realistic surgical simulator is real-time interaction by means of a haptic interface is. In fact, reproducing haptic sensations increases the realism of the simulation. However, the interaction need to
