Nonlinear wave loads on a three-column TLP in real seas /

Nonlinear wave loads are essential in design of offshore structures. In this study an analysis model for nonlinear wave loads was improved by introducing a quasi-linear transfer function which incorporates both linear- and quadratic- transfer functions. The analysis model is first demonstrated by...
