description: Draws together the hydrodynamic and structural dynamic analysis techniques used to design both conventional and innovative compliant structure types. Semisubmersibles, ship shapes, crane vessels and tensioned buoyant platforms are considered among the conventional structures, whereas articulated vessels, tandem hull designs, and vessels with pneumatic compliances are considered as examples of innovative designs which should have a promising future. For advanced undergraduates in mechanical engineering, naval architecture, and ocean engineering; postgraduates working toward advanced degrees in ocean engineering; and practicing engineers.
