Description The utilization of renewable energy sources is crucial for sustainable development, and wave energy has gained significant attention as a promising alternative. Unconventional wave energy systems, characterized by unique geometries, offer innovative solutions for harnessing wave power. However, the influence of nonlinear stiffness on the performances of such systems remains an underexplored area. This thesis proposal aims to investigate the impact of nonlinear stiffness on the efficiency and power generation capabilities of unconventional wave energy system geometries.
The main objectives of this research are:
a) To analyze the influence of nonlinear stiffness on the mechanical response of unconventional wave energy system geometries.
b) To evaluate the effect of nonlinear stiffness on the power absorption capabilities and energy conversion efficiency of these systems.
c) To propose design guidelines for optimizing unconventional wave energy system geometries with consideration of nonlinear stiffness effects.
The anticipated outcomes of this research include:
a) Insight into the influence of nonlinear stiffness on the performances of unconventional wave energy system geometries.
b) Quantitative assessment of the effect of nonlinear stiffness on power absorption capabilities, energy conversion efficiency, and overall system behavior.
c) Design guidelines for optimizing the geometry of unconventional wave energy systems, taking into account nonlinear stiffness effects.
d) Contribution to the existing knowledge base on wave energy systems and their design considerations.
