Abstract: Membrane structures have been used since the earliest of times. Until recently, their analysis has relied chiefly on trial and error; however, modern methods of analysis are evolving. The ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure is presented for computing wave interference effects on multiple, surface‐piercing rigid structures in an ocean of finite depth by the finite element method (FEM). Viscous effects are neglected and ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure for predicting wave diffraction, wave radiation, and body responses of multiple 3‐D bodies of arbitrary shape is described. Viscous effects are neglected, and the hydrodynamic pressure forces are ...
