Notice Title

Supply of Uniaxial Tension-Compression Fatigue Machine

Notice Description

This equipment will be part of the technical facilities provided by the MEECE project. MEECE will provide specialist knowledge, experience and capability for the benefit of the marine energy industry and is delivered by ORE Catapult and four universities. MEECE will provide a centre for collaboration through coordinated, joint-industry / cross-industry approaches, whilst disseminating lessons learned for future projects and improving industry productivity and effectiveness. MEECE will bring the expertise and capabilities of Welsh universities, and of the ORE Catapult, into direct contact with technology developers and their supply chains, supporting more innovation, and capturing and embedding that innovation in Wales. It will be based in Pembroke Port with research staff within the university research teams. Marine renewable energy uses several composite materials for a number of functions. One of these is the construction of turbine blades for tidal stream turbines. These materials have high loadings and a significant fluctuation in load from turbulence and wave action. Therefore, fatigue life is a significant technical challenge.
