Impact loads and wave kinematics on a fixed truncated circular cylinder due to nonlinear waves in a 2-D tank /

This thesis presents a result of measurements and analyses of the wave kinematics and impact loads on a scaled ISSC-TLP column fixed in a 2-D wave tank. The objective is to find out the mechanics of impact loads varied with kinematics in both space and time, and develop a method to predict nonlinea...
