STOCHASTIC RESPONSE OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OFFSHORE TOWER TO ICE FORCES

The probabilistic dynamic analysis of a fixed three- dimensional offshore tower presented forms part of a continuing research project on "Stochastic Analysis of Ice-Structure Interaction" which is relevant to the extensive program in Cold Regions-Oriented Ocean Engineering at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The problem of identifying the x-directional flexural modes for a three-dimensional frame was resolved by using the frame stiffness matrix (obtained for x displacements only) for the lumped mass cantilever model. This approach implies the concept of the three-dimensional frame simulator in modeling.
