Dynamic Analysis and Design of Offshore Structures

Focusing on offshore platform geometries, this book explores environmental loads and the fundamentals of structural dynamics, presented in a classroom style. It aids readers in estimating damping and understanding its applications in design through simple examples and exercises. The text covers design methodologies using FORM-based concepts and includes tutorials for self-learning. A dedicated chapter on stochastic dynamics expands on basic concepts, while recent research on the hydrodynamic response of perforated structures offers innovative retrofitting solutions, integrating structural dynamics with advanced design approaches.
