Abstract: The Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium at the 32nd International Ocean Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE2012) conference held in Rio de Janeiro had a number of papers devoted to wind energy research and development. The ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to establish a simple approach to experimentally study the mooring line damping in shallow water, where snap loading may occur more frequently. Experimental measurements were conducted in a wave ...

Abstract: Environmental conditions created by winds blowing oblique to the direction of the waves are necessary to conduct some survivability tests of offshore wind turbines. However, some facilities lack the capability to generate ...
