Abstract:The motion analysis of floating offshore structures is a major design aspect which has to be considered in the early design stage. The existing design environment E4 is an open software framework, which is being developed by the Institute of Ship Design and Ship Safety, comprising various methods for design and analysis of mainly ship-type structures. In context of the development to enhance the design environment E4 for offshore applications this paper presents a method to calculate the response motions of se… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
