Abstract: Based on the linear water wave theory, numerical simulations are carried out for motions in waves of a body moored by a nonlinear-type mooring system. Numerical results obtained by using the ...

Abstract: An estimation method for the increased damping on a moored body in waves which allow simulation of the decay increase of low-frequency motion in waves is described. Emphasis is put on the ...

Abstract: A fractured bolt connecting the bearing and the stiffening girder of a half-through steel-arch bridge, with a main span length of 113 m, which was opened for public in September 1996, was found in October 2013 during ...
