... on the system’s global performance, using linear stability analysis and time-domain simulations to conduct a parametric study. For example, the counterweight mass has a strong influence on the amplitude of rotational degrees-of-freedom. Corresponding natural periods may occur within the linear wave energy range...

... methods would have on the results obtained in this section. Table 1 presents the results from 18 available test results from external sources identified by the symbols A through E in Table 1 , which had the majority of the required data to fit the parameters of the parametric study equations. Some...
