Nonlinear Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures (Advances in Engineering (Lisse, Netherlands).) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This monograph provides a general background to the modeling of a special class of offshore structures known as compliant structures. External forcing is resisted by buoyancy and tension forces which become very large when the structure is slightly offset from its equilibrium. The technical development is presented in such a way as to demonstrate the generality of the modeling and to apply the techniques to the (i) articulated towers, (ii) tension leg platforms, and (iii) submerged pipes with internal flow. This book can be used as a supplementary graduate text book. Likely courses include those in advanced dynamics, ocean engineering, advanced vibration. The audience includes mechanical, civil, and marine engineers. Graduate students in engineering, faculty practitioners in industry and R&D organizations, and all those who have interest in dynamics, vibration, simulation, and offshore structures will find the book crucial.

Review
"This monograph is well written, easily readable and contains state-of-the-art work in this research frontier, which could serve as valuable research reference and graduate-level textbook. The numerical solution presented in this book can be easily reproduced and applied to other scenario by using the software provided by the first author. In summary, this monograph is a source of ideas for research scientists, structural engineers and designers, and graduate students in offshore engineering." -- Dr. Ray Zhang, Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering
