Download or read book Dynamics of Marine Vehicles and Structures in Waves written by International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1991 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main emphasis of this volume is on Continuum Mechanics. The 27 contributions written by established authorities in the field of marine vehicle dynamics cover topics relating to the environment, the mechanics associated with the interface, hydroelasticity, linear and non-linear dynamics problems with reference to chaos theory, experimental techniques and other methods of validation of software. The papers in this volume will provide a useful reference on the implications of new technologies in relation to the dynamics of ships and offshore structures.
