Description
Book SynopsisThis thoroughly revised new edition provides state-of-the-art knowledge of structural dynamics for marine structures and covers fluid-structure interactions unique to offshore structures. Included are new data and theories on fluid wave mechanics and non-linear response of offshore structures under load.
