Description
This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP), to extend the wave force simulation techniques developed under Project No. 2 to include directional wave spreading, shallow water effects, and a general analytical method for the time domain simulation of any specified wave spectrum. The new techniques will aid in determining the structural fatigue life of a structure and will improve the ability to predict their dynamic performance.
