Description
My book is devoted to linear, nonlinear regular and random wave mechanics and their interactions with both fixed and floating bodies. The chapter topics include the following: Review of Hydromechanics (43 pages + 9 examples), Linear Surface Waves (29 pages + 9 examples), Nonlinear Surface Waves (40 pages + 8 examples), Random Seas (48 pages + 14 examples), Wave Modification and Transformation (51 pages + 12 examples), Waves in the Coastal Zone (34 pages + 10 examples), Coastal Engineering Considerations (15 pages + 5 examples), Wave-Induced Forces and Moments on Fixed Bodies (77 pages + 14 examples), Introduction to Wave-Structure Interaction (26 pages + 7 examples), Wave-Induced Motions of Floating Structures (77 pages + 14 examples) and Wave-Induced Motions of Compliant Structures (76 pages + 14 examples). There are also 8 Appendices.
