Download or read book Simulation of Random Nonlinear Wave Forces on a Circular Cylindrical Pile written by Hang Tuah and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two types of linear random wave simulation methods are investigated; viz., (1) Deterministic Spectral Amplitude (DSA) and (2) Nondeterministic Spectral Amplitude (NSA). These linear simulations are extended to second-order in a perturbation expansion in the frequency domain by utilizing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The nonlinear interaction matrix for waves in shallow-, intermediate-, and deep-water is also investigated. In shallow water, the nonlinear interaction matrix is not as well-behaved as it is in intermediate- and deep-water. The nonlinear interaction matrix is symmetrical with respect to its frequency indices. The value of this nonlinear interaction matrix may, therefore, be calculated only from two octants in the w[subscript m]-w[subscript n] in plane. Water particle kinematics are computed from the simulated sea surface by three different Transfer Functions; viz., (1) Linear Frequency Domain (LFD), (2) Hybrid Frequency Domain (HFD), (3) Ncnlinear Frequency Domain (NFD). Wave pressure forces on a circular cylindrical pile are computed at approximately the mid-depth location in the time domain by the Morrison equation using the Dean and Aagaard coefficients. The statistics of these wave pressure forces are derived by the moment generating function approach by assuming that the initial sea surfaces are linear and Gaussian. The statistics of these simulated sea surfaces and wave pressure forces are compared with those recorded during Hurricane Carla (1961) in the Gulf of Mexico. In the sea surface simulation, the NSA method gives better agreement with the statistics from the measured sea surfaces than the DSA method does. However, there is no conclusion that can be drawn out the wave forces which are simulated from only one record (WPII No. 6887).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 26 (thesis year 1981) a total of 11 ,048 theses titles from 24 Canadian and 21 8 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 26 reports theses submitted in 1981, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set of two volumes comprises the collection of the papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Maritime Technology and Engineering (MARTECH 2020) that was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 16 to 19 November 2020. The Conference has evolved from the series of biennial national conferences in Portugal, which have become an international event, and which reflect the internationalization of the maritime sector and its activities. MARTECH 2020 is the fifth of this new series of biennial conferences. The set comprises 180 contributions that were reviewed by an International Scientific Committee. Volume 2 is dedicated to ship performance and hydrodynamics, including CFD, maneuvering, seakeeping, moorings and resistance. In addition, it includes sections on ship machinery, renewable energy, fishing and aquaculture, coastal structures, and waves and currents.

Download or read book Wave Forces on Circular Cylindrical Piles Used in Coastal Structures written by Yüan Jen and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory studies were made on a 6-inch diameter circular pile, using both regular and irregular waves. Detailed force analyses were made of both sets of data. Harmonic analyses of the total horizontal force acting on a pile was made in order to examine carefully the mass coefficient and drag coefficient. An attempt was made to relate these coefficients to certain dimensionless parameters. Dimensional analysis showed that the coefficients depended not only upon Reynolds number, Froude number, and Iversen's modulus, but also upon the water depth-wave length ratio d/L and the time parameter t/T.
