Li, M. (author)Europe’s offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 450 GW by 2050, meeting 30% of Europe’s electricity demand. With the increase of installed capacity, the costs invested in O&M will also increase significantly considering O&M cost is one of the biggest contributors to life cycle costs. The improvement of O&M management for...doctoral thesis 2023

Yan, Y. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Carr, Michael (author), Wheeler, Craig (author), Schott, D.L. (author)A convex pattern surface has been proposed and optimized to reduce sliding wear of bulk handling equipment by adjusting the flow behaviour of bulk material. This study aims at modelling the surface deformation of the convex pattern sample to investigate how effectively the sample reduces sliding wear. Archard wear model and a deformable...journal article 2023

Ma, Yuanxing (author), Shi, Baobin (author), Ali, Liaqat (author), Bai, Yong (author), Fang, P. (author)Wire ropes are widely observed in many industries such as marine engineering and civil engineering, as a type of structure that can bear huge axial force. There are various kinds of wire ropes in practical engineering, corresponding to different usage scenarios. This paper focuses on 6 × 36SW + 1WR with a diameter of 16 mm. The axial...journal article 2023

Unnikrishnan, Gokul Krishna (author), Sharma, S. (author), Pathak, Himanshu (author), Chauhan, Vishal Singh (author), Jain, Satish Chandra (author)To accurately analyze the fracture behavior of piezoceramics at small length scales, flexoelectricity must be considered along with piezoelectricity. Due to its dependence on size, flexoelectricity predominates at the micro- and nano-length scales. Additionally, crack tips having the largest strain gradient state cause large flexoelectricity...journal article 2023

Fang, P. (author), Li, Xiao (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Predicting the bending behaviours of a submarine power cable (SPC) is always a tough task due to its complex geometry and inner layer contact, not to mention the stick–slip mechanism. A full-scale finite element model is cumbersome during the early design stage and a more efficient model for practical use is required. Therefore, in this paper...journal article 2023

Singh, Diwakar (author), Sharma, S. (author), Kumar, Rajeev (author), Chauhan, Vishal S. (author), Vaish, Rahul (author)Although conventional actuators like piezoelectric and electrostrictive are efficient, but they required hard wiring, which contaminates the control signal and adds to the weight of the structure. The current study presents a wireless control strategy using photostrictive actuators. Owing to the fortunate combination of photovoltaic effect...journal article 2023
