The University of Strathclyde successfully hosted the 1st BASM-WEC workshop from March 22nd to 23rd, 2023, with the aim of establishing a network in the field of flexible Wave Energy Converters (WECs) within the UK… Successfully held the 1st BASM-WEC workshop!
We are proposing elastomeric structured membranes for wave energy converters, the material changes the mechanical response based on the amount of deformation produced by the wave conditions. The concept implements different types of patterns on… Structured membranes
Elastomers have different benefits including high elongation, damping coefficient and fatigue life, which contribute to survivability. Despite elastomers being widely used in marine structures such as fenders, buoys, boats and mooring lines, material selection and… Experimental characterisation of commercial elastomers
