Summary
Illustrated examples are given of marine structures, taken from oil exploitation, floating wind production, and other offshore activities. Important parameters such as the Reynolds number and the Keulegan–Carpenter numbers are introduced and the concepts of large and small (or slender) bodies are defined. The separation between linear and nonlinear wave loads and responses is introduced. Finally a brief outline of the book is given.
