With the rapid growth of grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) population in Baltic Sea, seal-induced catch losses have increased dramatically coastal fisheries. There been various attempts to mitigate these damages, such as modification fishing gear, but solutions proven inadequate. Promising research results recently obtained by using acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) keep seals away from immediate ...

Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is an innovative technology with little industry guidance for its hull design. Various FOWT floaters different shapes claim to support the same turbines. Structural integrity and material expense analyses of pontoon were conducted, it was found that some configurations, such as those every two columns connected by both bracing, have advantages over others. ...

Floating pontoons have played a supreme and indispensable role in crises disasters for both civil military purposes. bridges ferries are exposed to blast loadings the case of wars or terrorist attacks. The protection effectiveness sacrificial cladding subjected was numerically investigated. In this study, steel ferry has been simulated side explosions with different explosive charges at certain...

Combing floating breakwaters with wave energy converters (WECs) and integrating them into very large structure (VLFS) can provide a viable option to explore economically offshore resources simultaneously protect marine structures. In this paper, the time-domain numerical model is developed based on modal expansion theory nonlinear consideration optimize design layout of an integrated system mod...

nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. these types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters. in the current study, the performance of floating breakwater (fbs) under regular waves was studied using the physical modeling method. for the mode...

The amphibious invasions of Sicily, Salerno, and Normandy all made ample use US Navy landing pontoons. simple steel box pontoons were the brainchild civil engineer Captain John N. Laycock, who developed perfected his inventive design on eve American entry into World War II. Once in conflict, a Royal reserve officer assigned to Combined Operations Headquarters, Thomas A. Hussey, conceptualized i...
