This monograph provides a general background to the modelling of a special class of offshore structures known as compliant structures. External forcing is resisted by buoyancy and tension forces which increase when the structure is slightly offset from its equilibrium. The technical development given in this book is presented in such a way as to highlight the adaptability of the modelling, and the reader is shown how the techniques described can be applied to a variety of different offshore structures. 
Les mer
Outlines the theoretical basis for modelling nonlinear dynamics in a range of compliant offshore structures, and details the application of the theory to the physical environment.
