The team from UMaine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center, is testing
1/50th-scale models at an offshore wind basin owned by a Dutch company
called Marin. Three different types of floating platforms are being
tested 16 hours a day and are being subjected to different wind and wave
intensity levels that mimic conditions in the Gulf of Maine in
side-by-side comparison tests. More...
