The book introduces the theory of the structural loading on ships and offshore structures caused by wind, waves and currents, and goes on to describe the applications of this theory in terms of real structures. The main topics described are linear-wave induced motions, loads on floating structures, numerical methods for ascertaining wave induced motions and loads, viscous wave loads and damping, stationkeeping and water impact and entry. The applications of the theoretical principles are introduced with extensive use of exercises and examples. They include conventional ships, barges, high speed marine vehicles, semisubmersibles, tension leg platforms, moored or dynamic positioned ships, risers, buoys, fishing nets, jacket structures and gravity platforms. One aim of the book is to provide a physical understanding through simplified mathematical models. In this way one can develop analytical tools to evaluate results from test models, full scale trials or computer simulation, and learn which parameters represent the major contributions and influences on sea loads.

Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures,
By
This review is from: Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures (Cambridge Ocean Technology Series) (Paperback)
A must read book I must say for all Offshore Engineers. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The concepts are treated in a lucid way. Overall a great book to own and read.

Best in Class as a Teaching Tool!,
By
This review is from: Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures (Cambridge Ocean Technology Series) (Paperback)
After many years in industry I have joined the ranks of university lecturers. I have found this book the best source for teaching floating structure responses out there!

This review is from: Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures (Cambridge Ocean Technology Series) (Paperback)
This book gives all the basics and advanced calculations and type of sea loads on ships and offshore. if you are thinking about buying this book and you want to use is it as material for enriching your knowledge in sea loads on structure. be aware of a little bit advanced maths and fluid notions may be needed for better understanding.
