| Description |
This was a Joint Industry Project
(JIP), to extend the wave force simulation techniques developed under Project
No. 2 to include directional wave spreading, shallow water effects, and a
general analytical method for the time domain simulation of any specified wave spectrum.
The new techniques will aid in determining the structural fatigue life of a structure and
will improve the ability to predict their dynamic performance. |
