TEAMER: Investigation of Alternate Material Design Methods in WPS Ballast and Hull Systems
Included here are data and results from a study on the use of alternative materials in a floating, two-body Wave Power System (WPS). This study was focused on introduction of fiber-reinforced polymer and concrete in structural elements of the subject WPS, as well as the design and performance of structural joints between traditional steel elements and the proposed alternative materials. Overall impact of incorporating these alternative materials was evaluated through assessment of power-to-weight improvement, and capital and operating expense reduction.
The dataset contains finite element analysis (FEA) data and hand calculations. FEA files include those used for and generated by finite element simulations. Calculations include hand calculations performed using Microsoft Excel, which assess core laminate properties, buckling, and other structural aspects.
This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 11 (request for technical support) program.
