Statistics of Combined Linear and Quadratic Springing Response of a TLP in Random Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents the results of statistical analyses of combined first-order and second-order, sum-frequency response in heave, pitch, and roll of a TLP structure subjected to random, long-crested ...
Extreme Response of Nonlinear Structures With Low Damping Subjected to Stochastic Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The response of structures with low damping to random loading is generally characterized by significant clumping of the large response peaks. This clumping is known to affect the extreme responses ...
