DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF GRAVITY PLATFORMS SUBJECTED TO RANDOM WAVE EXCITATION

Techniques for the analysis of the dynamic motions of offshore gravity structures have now been developed to the point where they are useful engineering tools. This paper reviews these techniques and indicates the important dynamic motions for gravity platforms in random seas.
