Structural Responses

The scope of this paper is to connect a nonlinear WEC numerical model with a structural response model. The numerical WEC model takes into account the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring moment of the Wavestar float. A parameterized structural model of the Wavestar arm is developed in ANSYS APDL. Based on the assumption that the structural displacements remain small, linear first order theory is used to calculate the structural response. The section moments and forces are thus superimposed according to the superposition law. The effect of the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring moment on the structural response is investigated. Moreover, an analysis is carried out which shows that reactive control, applied as a closed loop control, increases the section moments and shear forces.

AbstractLet T be a complete countable first order theory and λ an uncountable cardinal. Theorem 1. If T is not superstable, T has 2λ resplendent models of power λ. Theorem 2. If T is strictly superstable, then T has at least min(2λ, ℶ2) resplendent models of power λ. Theorem 3. If T is not superstable or is small and strictly superstable, then every resplendent homogeneous model of T is saturated. Theorem 4 (with Knight). For each μ ∈ ω ∪ {ω, 2ω} there is a recursive theory in a finite language which has μ resplendent models of power κ for every infinite κ.
