Micro-Scale Characterization of Quartzitic and Carbonate Sand Grains Using Nanoindentation
Many offshore energy infrastructures are built on carbonate sands which are skeletal remains of marine organisms. Carbonate sands have a porous grain structure and are more compressible compared to quartzitic sand grains which are abundant in alluvial depositional environments. Consequently, there …

The dynamics of geometrically compliant mooring systems
… deformations are common in oceanographic and offshore energy production applications. Because of the inherent geometric nonlinearities, analyses of such systems typically require the use of a sophisticated numerical model. This thesis describes one such model and uses that model along with …

Synergistic design of a combined floating wind turbine - wave energy converter
Offshore energy machines have great potential: higher capacity factors, more available space, and lower visual impacts than onshore machines. This thesis investigates how combining a wave energy converter (WEC) with a floating wind turbine (FWT) may produce offshore renewable energy cost savings. …
