This book provides as complete as possible coverage of the subject of hydrodynamics applied to structures. The book's approach has particular advantages for designers. Each chapter is written so that it helps the reader to understand basic principles while at the same time giving the designer enough information for his or her design. Thus, results are given with derivations, and applications are also discussed with the aid of numerous examples. This allows the reader to be aware of the advantages and limitations of the methods involved.The book has two main purposes. It can be used as a textbook, both in undergraduate and in graduate studies, for students majoringin offshore and ocean engineering. And it can be used by design and applications engineers involved in offshore structure design to reference directly the final results, including various useful tables and illustrations, without going through detailed derivations.

Springer, Verlag

A textbook for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students of engineering, introducing vibration as it is generated by and related to hydrodynamics. Just enough fundamentals of each field are reviewed to provide a platform for discussing their intersection. Some applications are described showing the combined effect of the two forces on structures. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book covers the basics of the hydrodynamics and vibration of structures subjected to environmental loads. It describes the interaction of hydrodynamics with the associated vibration of structures, giving simple explanations. Emphasis is placed on the applications of the theory to practical problems. Several case studies are provided to show how the theory outlined in the book is applied in the design of structures. Background material needed for understanding fluid-induced vibrations of structures is given to make the book reasonably self-sufficient. Examples are taken mainly from the novel structures that are of interest today, including ocean and offshore structures and components. Besides being a text for undergraduates, this book can serve as a handy reference for design engineers and consultants involved in the design of structures subjected to dynamics and vibration.
