This project aims to improve the structural design of Mocean Energy's Wave Energy Converter by adapting structural loads and reliability analysis to such a novel, complex and hinge-connected WEC. Below is a list of the main objectives of this EngD, providing realistic and supportive steps towards the overall project aim.O1: Define hydrodynamic & structural analysis modelsO2: Model hydrodynamic load distribution over the WECO3: Conduct reliability analysis on the WEC using distributed loadsO4: Assess structural costs of the WECO5: Evaluate different WEC design variations regarding reliability and costs
