A ship is a flexible structure that moves bodily and distorts when
it encounters waves. This behaviour is potentially dangerous and it
must therefore be predicted as a necessary part of ship design.
Hitherto the theory of ship structures has had to employ
simplifying assumptions, and the dynamical theory has been founded
largely on the assumption of rigidity. This book, however, shows
how the wave responses of a ship can be calculated using linear
dynamics. This general treatment adapts the techniques of
structural theory, hydrodynamics, oceanography and statistical
theory to the needs of naval architecture. In a radically new
departure the authors unify these various techniques in their
systematic use of dynamical theory. The principles are applicable
to offshore structures in general as well as to ships.
