... ABSTRACT The data of long-term surface wave measurements by bottom pressure sensors near Sakhalin Island are used to analyze statistical characteristics of the coastal waves, and to build instrumental probability distributions for exceedance of wave heights. Specific features...

... ABSTRACT The responses of a flexible riser caused by motions of a weather-vaning FPSO subjected to two cyclonic storm events are investigated numerically. The objective was to comparatively study probability distributions of the riser responses to determine their statistical properties...

... Abstract Offshore structures are exposed to random wave loading in the ocean environment and hence the probability distribution of the extreme values of their response to wave loading is required for their safe and economical design. Due to nonlinearity of the drag component of Morison's wave...

..., Frank Copula, Gumbel-Hougaard Copula and Ali-Mikhail-Haq Copula) are presented here to construct joint probability distribution of annual maximum wave height and corresponding wind speed on a jacket platform in Bohai Sea, which are applied to verify the efficiency of these joint distribution models...

... the assumption of a narrow-band spectrum IS instead made m order to estimate the probability distribution of force maxima. A number of extensions to the fundamental case arise and three such extensions are considered here. These relate to the effects of multi-directional waves; the Intermittent forces acting...
