Oscillating-body dynamics<br />
Most wave energy converters are complex (possibly multi-body)<br />
mechanical systems with several degrees of freedom.<br />
Buoy<br />
We consider first the simplest case:<br />
• A single floating body.<br />
• One degree of freedom: oscillation in heave<br />
(vertical oscilation).<br />
