Abstract: The present paper treats the motions of an ice mass up to the instant of impact with a large fixed offshore structure, and describes a numerical method for predicting these motions taking ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations and laboratory tests have been carried out to investigate the effect of wave short-crestedness on the random forces on a vertical pile. Linearized expressions based on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a numerical and laboratory investigation into the mooring line forces and slow drift oscillations of large floating structures in multidirectional waves. A procedure ...

Abstract: The calculation of added masses and damping coefficients of a large surface-piercing vertical cylinder of arbitrary section extending to the seabed and undergoing harmonic oscillations is described. ...

Abstract: The present paper describes the numerical simulation of random wave forces acting on a section of fixed slender vertical cylinder near the free surface, taking account of the intermittency of ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with the effects of wave directionality on the loads and motions of long structures. A numerical procedure based on Green’s theorem is developed to compute the exciting ...

Abstract: The present paper set out a nonlinear boundary value problem involving the interaction of surface waves with large submerged structures in two dimensions. The problem is solved to second order ...

Abstract: A summary is given of available methods of estimating the drag and inertia coefficients used in the Morison equation from random wave and wave force data. The methods provide coefficients that ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model is developed for the selection of a design iceberg collision event with a fixed offshore structure. The model has been formulated such that input parameters can be obtained ...
