The cost effective design of tidal turbines requires a good estimation of the loading cycles and their extrema that are related to the unsteady fluctuation of the current velocity. Apart from the ambient turbulence, the main source of velocity fluctuatio...

An analytical model of a current load?s interaction with a moored floating flexible structure based on the Timoshenko?Mindlin beam theory is developed under the assumption of small-amplitude wave theory and the structural response. Theoretical solutions ...
