Guedes Soares, (Ed.), Progress in renewable energies offshore : proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW2016), Lisbon, Portugal, 24-26 October 2016 (1-7). https://doi.org/10.1201/9781315229256

Seabed ploughing plays an important part in providing protection to subsea cables that connect offshore renewables, and the process represents a significant portion of the overall installation cost. Current models for predicting the required tow forc... Read More about Improving seabed cable plough performance for offshore renewable energy.

Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cortis, M., Coombs, W., & Augarde, C. (2016). Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method. In Proceedings of the 24th UK Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering, 31 March - 01 April 2016, Cardiff University, Cardiff (116-119)

The Material Point Method (MPM) is a numerical boundary value problem (BVP) solver developed from particle- in-cell (PIC) methods that discretises the continuum into a set of material points. Information at these material points is mapped to a backgr... Read More about Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method.
