Stochastic Methods Applied in Nonlinear Analysis of Marine Structures
About
About the course
Course content
This subject is concerned with response analysis of structures subjected to stochastic loading. The theory will be exemplified be examples relating to marine structures. The subject deals with the following topics:
- general introduction about stochastic vector processes
- application on response analysis of linear and nonlinear multi-degree of freedom systems
- Monte Carlo simulation of stochastic processes. Equivalent linearization, perturbation methods, Volterra series.
- Load effects for design against ultimate collapse and fatigue
-analysis of measured or simulated time series for load effects (filtering, choice of models, parameter estimation).
Learning outcome
Provide an insight of the theoretical basis for analysis of stochastic nonlinear wave-induced load effects, as well as application of the theory in connection with design and operation of marine structures.
