Dynamics of Offshore Structures provides an integrated treatment of the main subject areas that contribute to the design‎,‎ construction‎,‎ installation‎,‎ and operation of fixed and floating offshore structures‎.‎ The book begins with an overview of offshore oil and gas development and offshore structures‎.‎ Separate chapters follow on the ocean environment‎;‎ basic fluid mechanics‎;‎ gravity wave theories‎;‎ fluid loading on offshore structures‎;‎ hydrostatics and dynamic response of floating bodies‎;‎ and model testing of offshore structures‎.‎ Basic fluid mechanics‎,‎ wave theory‎,‎ hydrodynamics‎,‎ naval architecture‎,‎ and structural analysis to meet the needs of students reading ocean engineering or naval architecture‎,‎ at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels‎.‎ Basic equations and theoretical results are derived in a rigorous manner but sections on model testing‎,‎ full‎-scale measurements‎,‎ design‎,‎ and certification are also induced to ensure that the book is of value to professional engineers seeking a balanced treatment of fundamental and practical issues‎.‎
