Book Description
The majority of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. Waves, currents, and winds are phenomena that act as load requirements in the design process of any offshore structure. While there are many types of offshore structures such as bridges, oil platforms, or wave energy converters, one type of structure currently gets the most attention: offshore wind turbines, which are expected to become one of the main sources of future energy supply. They are typically designed for a design life of 20 or 25 years and therefore must withstand all environmental conditions that can reasonably be expected during this time. To evaluate a design, one estimates its structural response under given environmental loading. This requires a description of the expected environmental conditions and a method to decide which environmental conditions should be considered as design requirements. This thesis addresses the design process of offshore structures. Engineering standards and guidelines describe the state of the art of this process and recommend models that shall be used to describe the environment and to estimate the extreme structural response. In particular, three design process steps where current methods can lead to problems are addressed: (1) Modeling the probability distribution of significant wave height; (2) modeling the joint distribution of wind speed and wave height; and (3) determining 50-year joint environmental extremes. New methods to deal with these three steps are proposed and evaluated. Finally, a case study on a 5 MW wind turbine is conducted.
Ship and Offshore Structure Design in Climate Change Perspective

Category : Mathematics

Pages : 76
Book Description
This book summarizes results of longstanding research and scientific contributions from many projects and relevant working groups. It collects and evaluates wind and wave climate projections under changing climate having design needs and marine safety in focus. Potential impact of projected climate change in met-ocean conditions on ships and offshore structures is discussed and illustrated by an example of the expected wave climate change on tanker design. The monograph is intended for students, researchers and industry based engineers who want a summary of the many studies that have been carried out on climate change effects on wind and waves and their importance for design and operations of ship and offshore structures. The reader needs only a moderate knowledge of marine wind and wave climate to follow the text.

Book Description
While the existing literature on offshore structures touch on model testing, a comprehensive text discussing the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and analysis of the physical model is lacking. This book fills that vacuum and provides, through its survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of physical modeling, an in-depth coverage of the technology of model testing. Its usefulness runs through the entire field of engineering, reaching far beyond its focus on offshore construction; and its breadth of scope should appeal not only to engineers and naval architects but to scientists interested in structural or hydraulic testing as well.
