Economic viability assessment of European flat oyster restoration on offshore windfarm infrastructure by Jacobs Pascalle, van der Hiele Tony, Heringa Jouke, Verbeeke Gabrielle P., Tonk Linda, ter Hofstede Remment, van Houcke Jasper

“…The main conclusions from this exercise were that: 1. based on investment value, the scenarios ‘adult loose on the seafloor’, ‘adults in cages’ and ‘spat on shells’ had the highest revenues per Euro invested; 2. adding substrate in the years post-deployment increased cost-effectiveness in the model for all scenarios, and 3. the time post-deployment to reach a self-sustaining adult oyster population was, with 8–10 yr, shortest for the scenarios 'spat settled on shells' and the combined scenario of 'adults placed loose on the seafloor' and 'spat settled on shells'.…”

Development of a Numerical Prediction Method for the Strain Energy Density of Welded Joints Using Structural Stresses Derived from Nodal Forces by Simone Lucertini, Giulia Morettini, Filippo Cianetti

“…This activity demonstrates a strong correlation between the numerical values obtained from the proposed innovative approach and the results from predictions made using a standard energy-based approach, with significantly lower computational and setup costs. Data processing and calculations are performed using the open-source software Python 3.10 (Software Foundation, Wilmington, DE, USA) to demonstrate the applicability of this method as a quick and ready-to-use “post-process” tool for industrial applications.…”
