Offshore Structure Modeling: 9 (Advanced Series On Ocean Engineering) - Hardcover

Synopsis

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.

About this title

Synopsis

While existing literature on offshore structures does touch on model testing, a comprehensive text discussing the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and analysis of physical models is lacking. This book aims to fill that vacuum and provide, through its survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of physical modelling, an in-depth coverage of the technology of model testing. Although the main focus is on offshore construction, the text should prove of use to the entire field of engineering, 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.
