Abstract

The coasts are affected mainly by the wave. The wave is a complex phenomenon and very important for the design of the structures that are used in the coastal zones and beaches. This paper presents a low-cost novel control system for the generation of unidirectional irregular waves, in project and research laboratories. The system uses digital signal processing, a feed-forward neural network and a linear motor, as main elements. The research objective is to obtain a system of easy operation, low cost and greater efficiency, where the transitory response disappears quickly and this behavior is interpreted, in marine hydraulics, as a fast calibration of experiments.
