Wave energy harvesting: Extraction of maximum energy from the oceanic wave by design optimization of a linear electrical generator

Due to the intermittent nature of oceanic waves, extraction of maximum wave energy is challenging by only improving the efficiency of direct drive linear electrical generators (LEGs). Site specific wave characteristics further complicate performance optimization. The existing des...

Comparative assessment of OPC and portland composite cements on the rheology and strength of nylon fiber-modified self-compacting concrete

Abstract This study investigates the combined effects of Portland composite cement type and nylon fiber dosage on the fresh-property compliance and 28-day mechanical performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). An empirical SCC proportioning approach was adopted. Four OPC-based...
