Product Description

This book introduces the theory of the structural loading on ships and offshore structures caused by wind, waves and currents, and goes on to describe the applications of this theory in terms of real structures. The main topics described are linear-wave induced motions, loads on floating structures, numerical methods for ascertaining wave induced motions and loads, viscous wave loads and damping, station-keeping and water impact and entry. The applications of the theoretical principles are introduced with extensive use of exercises and examples. Applications covered include conventional ships, barges, high speed marine vehicles, semisubmersibles, tension leg platforms, moored or dynamic positioned ships, risers, buoys, fishing nets, jacket structures and gravity platforms.

VIVID explanation 16 Dec 2010

By Alfred N. - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book gives all the basics and advanced calculations and type of sea loads on ships and offshore. if you are thinking about buying this book and you want to use is it as material for enriching your knowledge in sea loads on structure. be aware of a little bit advanced maths and fluid notions may be needed for better understanding.
