    This document provides homework instructions for a wave energy converter dynamics course. Students are asked to: 1) Take the Fourier transform of a cosine function between two time limits. 2) Take the inverse Fourier transform of a function between two frequency limits. 3) Derive equations of motion for a sphere undergoing heave oscillations in three scenarios: over an air spring, floating at the water surface, and fully submerged with mooring restraint. Symbols and assumptions should be defined.

    MEEM 4990/5990: Wave Energy Converter Dynamics

    Homework 2: September 28

    1. Obtain, analytically, the Fourier transform of the following function:

    f (t) = cos 3t; 0 t T0


    = 0; elsewhere (1)

    2. Also analytically obtain the inverse Fourier transform of the following function:

    F () = 1; 0 0
    = 0; elsewhere (2)

    3. Choosing symbols of your liking, obtain the equation of motion for a sphere when (i) it is oscillating
    over a spring in air (assume that an inherent linear viscous damping is present in the spring); (ii)
    when it is floating on water at draft = radius; (iii) when it is fully submerged in water, with the
    moorings providing the restoring force. Consider heave oscillations only. Define your symbols
    clearly. State any assumptions implicit in your models.
