Stochastic Dynamics Of Marine Structures

Stochastic Dynamics of Marine Structures is a text for students and reference for professionals on the basic theory and methods used for stochastic modeling and analysis of marine structures subjected to environmental loads. The first part of the book provides a detailed introduction to the basic dynamic analysis of structures, which serves as a foundation for later chapters on stochastic response analysis. This includes an extensive chapter on the finite element method. A careful introduction to stochastic modeling is provided, which includes the concepts: stochastic process, variance spectrum, random environmental processes, response spectrum, response statistics, and short- and long-term extreme value models. The second part of the book offers detailed discussions of limit state design approaches, fatigue design methods, the equations of motion for dynamic structures, and numerical solution techniques. The final chapter highlights methods for prediction of extreme values from measured data or data obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.

A must-have reference for any offshore engineering professional or researcher. The text is a great collection of the state of the art of the discipline and saves you an enormous effort by having the scattered and complex-to-extract litterature in a single volume.
