Description for Dynamic Analysis of Nonlinear Structures by the Method of Statistical Quadratization
Paperback. This text deals with a new technique for the dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures, which allows engineers to deal with complex nonlinear problems in a systematic manner. It is especially relevant in dealing with offshore structures which are exposed to nonlinear forces due to waves. Series: Lecture Notes in Engineering. Num Pages: 172 pages, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TGMD4; TNC; TTSH. Category: (P) Professional & Scholarly; (UP) Postgraduate. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 10. Weight in Grams: 334.
1. 1 Introduction As offshore oil production moves into deeper water, compliant structural systems are becoming increasingly important. Examples of this type of structure are tension leg platfonns (TLP's), guyed tower platfonns, compliant tower platfonns, and floating production systems. The common feature of these systems, which distinguishes them from conventional jacket platfonns, is that dynamic amplification is minimized by designing the surge and sway natural frequencies to be lower than the predominant frequencies of the wave spectrum. Conventional jacket platfonns, on the other hand, are designed to have high stiffness so that the natural frequencies are higher than the wave ... Read more
