Optimum Design of Absorbing Wave Maker with Voiee-Coil Type Linearmotor

Abstract

The theory to absorb wave energy has already established by many researchers. Allthough, it is not so easy to build up the system which absorbs wave energy by external mechanism. Especially, it need many hours to make the values of spring and damping coefficients of the mechanism optimum. The paper shows the experimental results of wave absorption with a Voice-coil type linearmotor and, that the working hours to regulate the system can be reduced with it.
