Numerical and experimental investigations of wave propagation phenomena in elastic solids.
A variable-length elastic rod whose fall is arrested by an oscillating sliding sleeve — configurational forces give rise to a self-tuning 'suspended' motion, opening the way to energy harvesting and dissipation devices.
Biomimetic oscillating-foil turbines for extracting renewable energy from waves and tidal currents, simulated with a GPU-accelerated boundary element method for unsteady three-dimensional lifting flows.
