Abstract: Nonlinear wave forces on fixed or floating offshore structures have attracted much attention recently. This paper deals with the nonlinear effects of regular waves on fixed two-dimensional bodies ...

Abstract: Straight elements are a simple tool for tackling the locking problem for curved beams. When a curved I-beam is approximated by chordwise straight elements, the conventional approach is to treat the rate of twisting as the ...

Abstract: A linear ray theory is developed to study the interaction of water waves with a steady intake-pipe flow in deep water. The wave-current interaction model is based on the assumption that the ...
