• Force-Based Real-Time Hybrid Testing: Force Actuation System 

      Hamland, Truls (Master thesis, 2017)
      Real-time hybrid model testing is the name given to the real-time coupling of experimental and numerical testing methods. It is based on dividing complex structures into two system parts; one that is simulated numerically, ...
    • Real-Time Hybrid Model Testing - Force-actuation and implementation 

      Solum, Vegard Rørvik (Master thesis, 2017)
      To be able to understand the behaviour of complex mechanical systems, physical testing has been - and still is - of importance. Sophisticated models and numerical tools have been developed to analyze the dynamics of such ...
    • Real-Time Hybrid Model Testing of Floating Wind Turbines 

      Chabaud, Valentin (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:369, Doctoral thesis, 2016)
      Offshore wind power is an active research topic motivated by today’s world energy crisis. While bottom-fixed turbines are relatively mature and commercially viable (though dependent on state-based subsidies to green energy), ...
    • The potential of extracting wave energy from rip currents 

      Chabaud, Valentin (Master thesis, 2011)
      Existing wave energy converters are only based on a few ways to produce electricity from ocean waves. All of them suffer from low cost-efficiency so the proposal of new technologies is still up to date. This is a preliminary ...
