Download or read book Nonlinear Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures written by Patrick Bar-Avi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
