The effectiveness of two discrete control strategies, Latching and Declutching, has been examined for an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter using numerical simulations. A simplified hydrodynamic model of a submerged oscillating plate and a simple damper PTO were used to model the forces acting on the device. As expected from looking at the available literature, both Latching and Declutching control...
In the present study, an open source CFD tool, OpenFOAM has been extended and applied to investigate roll motion of a 2-D rectangular barge induced by nonlinear regular waves in viscous flow. Comparisons of the present OpenFOAM results with published potential-flow solutions and experimental data have indicated that the newly extended OpenFOAM model is very capable of accurate modelling of wave interaction...
Robotics research is motivated by the desire to develop tools or machines to accomplish tasks in place of humans or undertake tough activities which cannot be done by human labour. In order to design advanced robots, one approach is the learn from mechanical structures and locomotion mechanisms of animals in the natural world. This survey focuses on legged dynamic locomotion of robots which are mammal-like...
