Beskrivning

Dynamics of Marine Structures begins by outlining foundational concepts of stochastic wave theory to facilitate cardinal understanding of nonlinear dynamical systems in the marine environment that respond to complex interactions with a wide range of factors. The book then illustrates, in detail, up-to-date statistical methods and hydro-elastic numerical modeling techniques to accurately predict extreme responses and operating limits of marine structures. Next, users will find comprehensive practical guidance on how to undertake marine structural design work for a variety of structures, including ships, sea walls, vertical breakwaters, harbors, and offshore energy facilities.

Finally, the volume also reviews existing literature and summarizes the latest applied research investigations for students, researchers, and professional engineers alike, thus paving the way for further advancements in next-generation marine construction in support of global sustainable development targets.

Provides techniques for digital simulation of 2D and 3D random ocean waves
Uses environmental contour methods for structural reliability analysis
Applies insights to optimize design for more structurally safe and reliable marine structures
