This study proposes a novel coupled analysis framework integrating FEM and peridynamics (PD), offering an effective approach for simulating high-cycle fatigue behavior in WTs. It begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of PD theory, the surface softening effect correction method, and a fatigue model tailored for the PD framework. A robust coupling strategy is developed and implemented in the OpenSees platform, ensuring displacement continuity and force equilibrium between solid elements and the PD model. Furthermore, an integrated simulation framework combining Matlab and OpenSees is established for multiscale, high-cycle fatigue analysis of WT structures.

JADE is applied across different scenarios to optimize maintenance by interacting with the virtual environment, considering external factors such as electricity and component prices, wind speeds, and maintenance duration.

Although it is well known that training RL-based control strategy in real-world environments possesses numerous advantages, yet achieving it remains significant challenges such as training approach and computational power. This paper proposes a RL-based lightweight control strategy for robotic fish heading direction control, which can be implemented on a compact control system (72 MHz) in the physical world. The control strategy integrates RL with a central pattern generator (CPG). Specifically, RL is employed for decision-making processes, whereas CPG plays a crucial role in action execution. Functional segregation within this framework enables low computational consumption while facilitating rapid convergence. The proposed control strategy is validated through the conduction of diverse directional swimming tests in a wire-driven robotic fish that is trained in a circulating water channel.

The method quickly extracts periodic features by simulating the steady flow at different relative circumferential positions between the rotor and the stator, thereby avoiding the computational inefficiency of the time-domain numerical method (TDNM).

The objective of the present study is to carry out a comprehensive dynamic response analysis of a 15 MW FOWT substructure under extreme loads specified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), with particular focus on yield strength evaluation at critical locations. A framework was proposed to simulate the stress time history of the floating support structure under combined wave, wind, and current actions using a fully coupled approach. The proposed method was validated through a representative case study involving the UMaine VolturnUS-S platform substructure. The potential damage locations were identified by screening regions exhibiting the highest Von Mises stress concentrations at the incident wave frequency corresponding to the peak surge acceleration Response Amplitude Operator (RAO). The proposed method was subsequently employed to systematically investigate wave-wind-current interactions and their effects on local stress characteristics in the time domain. Statistical analysis was conducted to quantify the influence of varying wave heights and wind speeds on stress distributions at identified critical locations. Finally, the yielding strength assessment was performed to assess the possibility of structural collapse at the potential damage locations. The findings showed that the total stress response is predominantly governed by Rotor Nacelle Assembly (RNA) excitation and wave actions. As wind speeds increase, the mean value of the total stress response presents explicit offsets from the zero averages. Conversely, while wave height variations minimally affect mean stress values, they substantially amplify stress fluctuation amplitudes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19403,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Engineering","volume":"335 ","pages":"Article 121673"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144195234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the Stokes number is introduced to analyze the influence of particle trajectories, solid-liquid two-phase velocity and external characteristics under varying particle counts and sizes. Results show that the Stokes number effectively characterizes particle motion.

Simultaneously, both the head coefficient and efficiency decrease accordingly. An increasing in particle count or decrease in particle size enhances the likelihood of particles entering the motor gap.
