Features: This book focuses on the dynamic response analysis of floating offshore engineering structures (also including jacket platform structures) under marine environmental loads, and also explores the calculation of the motion of mooring systems (including semi-submersible platforms, FPSO systems) under wave action. The book discusses the effects of waves, currents, sea ice, and wind on marine engineering structures and the methods for analyzing their dynamic responses in separate chapters. It also provides a dedicated introduction to the mechanical properties and dynamic responses of marine risers. Starting from single-degree-of-freedom systems, the book briefly introduces the fundamental concepts and computational methods of multi-degree-of-freedom system dynamic characteristics and response analysis, random vibration, and nonlinear vibration. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in naval architecture and ocean engineering and related fields, as well as a reference for researchers engaged in the design and study of marine engineering structures.
