Top C-channel flexes; screws backing out #89

Open Toby-D opened 8 years ago

Toby-D commented 8 years ago

The C-channel along the top of the wave paddle flexes during operation. (The force of the piston creates a moment which torques the C-channel, raising and lowering the piston side and loosening the rear screws.)

The problem is especially severe for random waves.

John Ahern is aware of the details.

Toby: can you check with John whether he wants us to file an official work request with CEPS-TSC? Thanks.
