Synopsis

This monograph provides a general background to the modelling of a special class of offshore structures known as compliant structures. External forcing is resisted by buoyancy and tension forces which increase when the structure is slightly offset from its equilibrium. The technical development given in this book is presented in such a way as to highlight the adaptability of the modelling, and the reader is shown how the techniques described can be applied to a variety of different offshore structures. 

About this title

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
