Abstract: The paper provides longterm bivariate distributions of wave power with wave height, and wave power with wave period. This is relevant for assessments of wave power devices and their potential for converting energy from ...

Abstract: In this paper, the long-term extreme response of a vessel rolling in random beam seas and the associated reliability evaluation are addressed. The long-term response analysis is based on the upcrossing rates of the roll ...

Abstract: Ship hull vibration is a significant contributor to fatigue crack growth and the major sources of vibrations are found to be the main engine vibration excitation, the wave-induced springing and whipping loads, and the ...

Abstract: In principle, the reliability of complex structural systems can be accurately predicted by Monte Carlo simulation. This method has several attractive features for structural system reliability, the most important being ...

Abstract: From a mathematical viewpoint, the frequency domain analysis of vessel motion responses due to wave actions is based on integration of system dynamics idealized in terms of response amplitude operators for six degrees-of-freedom ...
