This book covers the basics of the hydrodynamics and vibration of
structures subjected to environmental loads. It describes the
interaction of hydrodynamics with the associated vibration of
structures, giving simple explanations. Emphasis is placed on the
applications of the theory to practical problems. Several case
studies are provided to show how the theory outlined in the book is
applied in the design of structures. Background material needed for
understanding fluid-induced vibrations of structures is given to
make the book reasonably self-sufficient. Examples are taken mainly
from the novel structures that are of interest today, including
ocean and offshore structures and components.Besides being a text
for undergraduates, this book can serve as a handy reference for
design engineers and consultants involved in the design of
structures subjected to dynamics and vibration.

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.
