AbstractStatic immersion tests are commonly used to evaluate the performance of marine coatings prior to use on ship hulls or for other applications. Although these tests provide valuable data, they do not expose the coatings to the hydrodynamic and fouling conditions that will be present when a ship is underway, thus making it difficult to extrapolate results to ship hull performance. The present study reports data for two commercially available ship hull coatings (one antifouling and one fouling release coating) exposed concurrently to static and dynamic ocean conditions for 4 months. Coatings that were exposed to static conditions developed macrofouling communities dominated by tubeworms, tunicates, and encrusting bryozoans. The coatings subjected to dynamic conditions were fouled only by biofilms and green macroalgae. The results show a difference in coating performance depending on immersion environment (static vs. dynamic) as well as coating type. This highlights the importance of utilizing dynamic testing concurrently with static immersion in coating evaluation to better understand how the system will respond to hydrodynamic stresses. Knowing how a coating performs under various real-world conditions can help drive ship hull management and determine which coating is appropriate for the ship's operational schedule.

This paper proposes a novel approach for dual-functional energy harvesting and vibration control by integrating the tuned mass damper (TMD) and electromagnetic shunted resonant damping. The viscous dissipative element between the TMD and primary system is replaced by an electromagnetic transducer shunted with a resonant RLC circuit. An efficient gradient based method is presented for the parameter optimization in the control framework for vibration suppression and energy harvesting. A case study is performed based on the Taipei 101 TMD. It is founded that by tuning the TMD resonance and circuit resonance close to that of the primary structure, the electromagnetic resonant shunt TMD achieves the enhanced effectiveness and robustness of double-mass series TMDs, without suffering from the significantly amplified motion stroke. It is also observed that the parameters and performance optimized for vibration suppression are close to those optimized for energy harvesting, and the performances are not sensitive to the resistance of the charging circuit or electrical load.
