Course - Stochastic Theory of Sealoads - TMR4235
Stochastic Theory of Sealoads
About
About the course
Course content
Transformation of random variables. Monte Carlo simulation. Probability distributions for response. Parameter-estimation. Extreme-value statistics. Stochastic processes. Auto- and cross-correlation functions. Spectra and cross-spectra. Differentiation of stochastic processes. Excitation-response of stochastic processes. Response-statistics.
Learning outcome
The principles and methods which are used to describe stochastic processes will be explained. The emphasis will be on the applications to sealoads and motions of marine systems, and to make the students able to use such principles and methods.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. A written exam is the basis for the final grade in the course. Postponed/repeated exams may be oral. 75% of the exercises are mandatory and have to be approved in order to take the exam.
