Abstract

The motion modes of two rigid barges connected by a hinge joint, and of an infinite array of bodies were extensively studied by Newman [1]. Other researchers went deeper into the issue of arrays of multiple floating bodies using various methodologies [2, 3]. Zhang et al. [4] notably demonstrated that the motions and performance of such arrays can be effectively computed in the time domain, even when accounting for interactions between devices. The aspects of particular interest in these studies are the overall stability of the floating array and the effectiveness of energy absorption by the Power Take-Off (PTO) systems between the multiple floating bodies. The relationship between the objective function in phase control and its corresponding control effect is still under exploration.
