Description

This project deals with the study of the mechanical behavior of a wavering membrane used to collect marine current energy. We give first a description of means and method used to characterize our system. Then the results of the experiments on a one to sixth prototype are presented. In parallel, a numerical study is performed. This modelling and experiments permit to confirm the efficiency of the wavering membrane. (authors)
