Coupled dynamic analysis of floating structures in waves and currents /

A computer program, WINPOST, is developed for coupled dynamic analysis of the floating structures. In the program, the floating platform is modeled as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom. Hydrodynamics of the structure, which include the linear and second-order wave forces, added mass, radiatio...
