Stochastic Nonlinear Dynanics of Floating Structures.

Abstract

A nonlinear stochastic dynamic model is developed using a variational mechanics formulation for an articulated tower in the ocean. Forcing is due to waves, current and wind. Various response cases are included, such as beating and chaotic.
