Identifying challenges facing reliable supply chains and ways to mitigate then for mining in the Baffin Bay region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There are substantial economic opportunities in extracting minerals in the Arctic region. However, it has proven difficult for operators to ensure reliable supply chains (SCs) north of the Arctic Circle. This paper uses a ... -
Optimization and market analysis of the energy machine WorldPower Energy.
(Master thesis, 2021)Part I (1) of this thesis provides theoretical and experimental research on the Archimedes Buoyancy Principle (ABP). In particular, the research focuses and emphasizes on the current definition of the magnitude and direction ... -
Simulation of peak tension loads in Subsea power cables during installation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11)At present, most of the insurance claims in the offshore wind industry are due to cable failures where a large percentage occurs during the installation of the array and export cables. As the reliability of the cables ... -
Data-driven prediction of mean wind turbulence from topographic data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study presents a data-driven model to predict mean turbulence intensities at desired generic locations, for all wind directions. The model, a multilayer perceptron, requires only information about the local topography ... -
Baseline design of a subsea shuttle tanker system for liquid carbon dioxide transportation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)This paper presents the baseline design of a 34,000-tonne subsea shuttle tanker (SST). The SST is proposed as an alternative to subsea pipelines and surface tankers for the transportation of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) ... -
Lifetime Benefit Analysis of Intelligent Maintenance: Simulation Modeling Approach and Industrial Case Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)The introduction of Industry 4.0 is expected to revolutionize current maintenance practices by reaching new levels of predictive (detection, diagnosis, and prognosis processes) and prescriptive maintenance analytics. In ... -
Mapping the potentials of regions in Europe to contribute to new knowledge production in Industry 4.0 technologies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)This paper aims to identify the future Industry 4.0 technology (I4T) centres of knowledge production in Europe. We expect I4Ts to thrive in regions where they can draw on local capabilities in I4T-related technologies. We ... -
Experimental and numerical study of the elastic SCF of tubular joints
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)This paper provides data on stress concentration factors (SCFs) from experimental measurements on cruciform tubular joints of a chord and brace intersection under axial loading. High-fidelity finite element models were ... -
Dynamic analysis of a two-rotor wind turbine on spar-type floating platform
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)The dynamic response of a two-rotor wind turbine mounted on a spar-type floating platform is studied. The response is compared against the baseline OC3 single-rotor design. Structural design shows how the two-rotor design ... -
Numerical investigation of scour beneath pipelines subjected to an oscillatory flow condition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)The present study carries out two-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate scour beneath a single pipeline and piggyback pipelines subjected to an oscillatory flow condition at a Keulegan–Carpenter (KC) number of ... -
A new crack spacing model for reinforced concrete specimens with multiple bars subjected to axial tension using 3D nonlinear FEM simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)Crack spacing is a governing parameter in widely used crack width calculation models. Axial tensile experiments are conducted to examine the crack spacing behavior of reinforced concrete specimens with multiple reinforcement ... -
