Abstract

The global energy demand is experiencing a significant surge, reaching 442 exajoules in 2023. The urgency to develop renewable energy sources intensifies as global energy needs continue to escalate, coupled with the detrimental impact of fossil fuel consumption on climate change. Ocean current energy has emerged as a promising renewable energy source due to its predictability and minimal environmental impact. However, the efficiency and reliability of Ocean Current Turbines (OCTs) depend highly on their blades' design and performance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in ocean current and tidal current turbine blade design and the challenges and issues associated with their operation and maintenance. The paper discusses various design aspects, including blade geometry, material selection, hydrodynamic performance optimization, and bio-inspired designs. Additionally, it highlights the common failures and degradation mechanisms of turbine blades, such as fatigue, erosion, and cavitation. Furthermore, the review explores the challenges faced in developing and deploying OCTs, such as improved blade durability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compatibility.

Abstract

The bus driver's comfort is crucial. The location of the driver's seat, which is correlated with the seat support design, is one of the elements supporting his comfort. By considering the safety factor, House of Quality (HOQ), weight, shape, and seat support dimensions, this study intends to ascertain how the characteristics of the bus seat support form after receiving a load or force. Conducting a field visit to gather the necessary data was the initial step in this research. The following stage was to decide on the design criteria based on the collected data. Next, use SolidWork to model the design. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM), this program can investigate design characteristics. The loading simulation under consideration included clutch engagement, bus brake application, and clutch engagement, whether the support was static or stationary. The validation with two supporting journals was then run as the following step to validate the findings. According to the study's findings, the constant chair support fulfills the typical value, whereas Support 1 was the most fracture-prone. The outcomes of Supports 2 and 3 demonstrated that the support strength was weak since it was subjected to an unequal load.
