Abstract: Marine structures are often highly utilized structures and are operating in an environment dominated by dynamic loading. The fatigue limit state is of main concern and is governing the structural ...

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic response of a jack-up structure under random wave loads is considered. For a simplified jack-up model, average behavior and variability in extreme forces and responses are ...

Abstract: The extreme response of a jackup structure is studied. We consider how design seastate histories can be introduced to reduce the cost of time-domain response analysis. We first identify critical ...
