Fluid inerter for optimal vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine towers
(2022)This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass damper fluid-inerter (TMDFI) for vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The use of an inerter in parallel with the spring and damper of a tuned ... -
Use of fall-cone flow index for soil classification: a new plasticity chart
(2022)Use of the Casagrande-style plasticity chart to classify fine-grained soils using Atterberg's liquid and plastic limits is ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering. This classification is dependent on the thread-rolling and ... -
Optimal Control Algorithms for Wave Energy Conversion
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2022)The aim of this thesis is to design control strategies with the objective of power maximization for point absorber (PA) type of wave energy converter (WEC) devices, considering non-linearities and physical limitations ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ... -
Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment
(2022)This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ...
