The IPROS project addresses an issue of growing importance: that of maximizing up time equipment while minimizing maintenance and operating costs. The area of intelligent maintenance and prognostic-enabled condition-based maintenance of machinery is a vital one for today’s complex systems in industry, aerospace vehicles, ships, automotive industry, and elsewhere. As manning levels are reduced and
The goals of this project included the analysis and the development of a wave energy converter capable of exploiting sea wave energy in order to generate electric power. Sea waves are one of the most interesting and well distributed renewable energy sources in the world. Given the current state of the art, all existing sea
