“…To circumvent the difficulty of high loading in a large fixed floating structure, here, we demonstrate experimentally that the loading in the structure can be alleviated through the use of hinges. We also note that hinge motion can also be representative of the behaviour of a structure made with flexible materials [19], however, this is subject to further research by the authors of this paper.…”

In this work, we compare the motion and structural response of a rigid and hinged floating structure subject to regular waves. We do this to understand better whether what is the best option for floating marine renewable installations. The hinged structure has two hinges and three pontoons, whilst the rigid structure is made by replacing the hinges with rigid steel bars. We instrument the pontoons with motion detection spheres and with strain gauges to measure vertical point loads. We find that the motion response of the platforms is similar between hinged and rigid at low and high frequencies. However, at intermediate frequency waves, single and triple sagging occur for rigid and hinged structures, respectively. We find significant load alleviation for the hinged structure in the range of frequencies where sagging behaviour occurs. These insights reveal that hinged design can contribute to long term survivability by reducing loads in the structure, whilst identification of motion patterns and natural frequencies are necessary to select operating modes for marine renewable generators mounted on the platforms.

Achieving sustainable development (SD) requires a holistic approach that bridges multiple disciplines. Although the current literature recognizes the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in comprehensively addressing global challenges across fields such as economics, business, environmental science, and social justice, there is still a significant gap in understanding how specific contributions from each discipline can be effectively combined to strengthen the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this paper, we examine the interconnected nature of the SDGs and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving them. Addressing complex challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation requires contributions from diverse fields, including biology, ecology, toxicology, chemistry, physics, mechanics, environmental engineering, architecture, and urban planning. The purpose of this paper is twofold (i) to explore the interconnected nature of the SDGs and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve them, and (ii) to highlight how contributions from different disciplines can enhance our ability to address the complex challenges associated with SD. We emphasize the integration of sustainable principles and innovative approaches as essential to fostering collaboration. Our findings suggest that inclusive, interdisciplinary strategies are critical for SD and underscore the urgent need for collective action across sectors to achieve the SDGs, strengthen global resilience, and drive innovation in SD. Adopting interdisciplinary efforts creates pathways for innovative, inclusive, and sustainable impacts that support a healthier planet and a resilient future for all.
