Compared to onshore turbines, floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) take advantage of the increased availability of offshore wind while causing less environmental impact. However, the strong winds, waves, and currents to which they are subjected trigge...

A freak wave is a spike in a random wave series and hence the local characteristics in the time-domain are of key importance. When freak waves act on moored floating structures, the dynamic responses of the structures in the time and frequency domains ch...

The conceptual design of a hybrid aerial vehicle for the exploration of the upper Venus atmosphere is presented. The vehicle will float like a balloon and harvest solar energy which is stored in batteries. The neutral buoyancy reduces the energy consumpt...
