The hydroelastic response of the structure to random loads is analyzed using a stationary random vibration theory. The damage probability of the structure is evaluated using a first-order reliability method. Numerical examples show a variety of hydroelastic responses and the damage probability of structures for different wind speeds and directions during operation and shutdown.","PeriodicalId":503139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141404184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the existing formula that focuses on wave diffraction is modified in terms of the wave amplitude near ships and the finite draught of ships. The effects of each modification are discussed based on predictions for a very large crude carrier and container ship. Moreover, the prediction method with and without each modification is validated by comparing the prediction results with published experimental data.","PeriodicalId":503139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141399030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
