Description

Book Synopsis
This book introduces the theory of the structural loading on ships and offshore structures caused by wind, waves and current, and goes on to describe the applications of this theory in terms of real structures such as conventional ships, high-speed marine vehicles, barges, risers, buoys, fishing nets and gravity platforms.

Table of Contents
1. Introduction; 2. Sea environment; 3. Linear-wave induced motions and loads on floating structures; 4. Numerical methods for linear-wave induced motions and loads; 5. Second-order non-linear problems; 6. Current and wind loads; 7. Viscous wave loads and damping; 8. Stationkeeping; 9. Water impact and entry; References; Index.
