Synopsis

This book covers the basics of the hydrodynamics and vibration of structures subjected to environmental loads. It describes the interaction of hydrodynamics with the associated vibration of structures, giving simple explanations. Emphasis is placed on the applications of the theory to practical problems. Several case studies are provided to show how the theory outlined in the book is applied in the design of structures. Background material needed for understanding fluid-induced vibrations of structures is given to make the book reasonably self-sufficient. Examples are taken mainly from the novel structures that are of interest today, including ocean and offshore structures and components.Besides being a text for undergraduates, this book can serve as a handy reference for design engineers and consultants involved in the design of structures subjected to dynamics and vibration.

About this title

Review

Interesting parts of the book are Chapter 9 with practical and design cases, and Chapter 4 dealing with experiments. -- Journal of Sound and Vibration

It is a useful text in which the practical application of tools learned in an engineering curriculum is investigated. -- Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, Nov 2003
