Abstract
The objectives of this work are to quantify the influence of material and operational uncertainties on the performance of self-adaptive marine rotors, and to develop a reliability-based design and optimization methodology for adaptive marine structures. Using a previously validated 3D fluid–structure interaction model, performance functions are obtained and used to generate characteristic response surfaces. A first-order reliability method is used to evaluate the influence of uncertainties in material and load parameters and thus optimize the design parameters. The results demonstrate the viability of the proposed reliability-based design and optimization methodology, and demonstrate that a probabilistic approach is more appropriate than a deterministic approach for the design and optimization of adaptive marine structures that rely on fluid–structure interaction for performance improvement.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
