Abstract: The fatigue life of offshore structures is investigated under the conditions that dynamic response to waves is assumed to play a significant role. Under these conditions, the study emphasizes ...

Abstract: This paper focusses on the estimation of natural frequencies and modal damping ratios from measured response spectra, with particular emphasis on the dynamic response of offshore structures to ...

Abstract: Twenty full-scale test runs were conducted during the cable strumming experiments reported in this paper. These consisted of ten pairs of equivalent tests conducted in air and in water with a ...

Abstract: The vortex-induced vibration response of long cables subjected to vertically sheared flow was investigated in two field experiments. In a typical experiment, a weight was hung over the side of ...

Abstract: The mathematical basis for the Random Decrement Technique of vibration signature analysis is established. The general relationship between the autocorrelation function of a random process and the ...
