Abstract:This work discusses the conceptual design of a maneuvering test platform to be installed at the LABOCEANO ocean basin. The platform features a 35m long main bridge, crossing over the whole basin width. A secondary trolley runs along the main bridge, connected to the model. The combination of the bridge and trolley motions can impose a very flexible range of trajectories to the model. The trolley will be equipped with special devices which enable the imposition of harmonic motion up to four degrees of freedom s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
