DEME Group, a leader in offshore energy and marine infrastructure, seeks to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cable burial operations for offshore wind farms through the development of a user-friendly trencher mobility model. This research addresses the limitations of existing models and provides …

Renewable energy sources have an intermittent character that does not necessarily match energy demand. Such imbalances tend to increase system cost as they require mitigation measures and this is undesirable when available resources should be focused on increasing renewable energy supply. Matching supply …

This thesis analyses the behaviour of the design of a physical model of a cable-stayed bridge during a dynamic analysis. To obtain the dynamic response of the design of a physical model, I had to create various designs and compared them to select a final one. I utilized the selected design for a shaking …
