Abstract
Zusammenfassung:<p><i>Stochastic Analysis of Offshore Steel Structures </i>provides a clear and detailed guide to advanced analysis methods of fixed offshore steel structures using 3D beam finite elements under random wave and earthquake loadings. Advanced and up-to-date research results are coupled with modern analysis methods and essential theoretical information to consider optimal solutions to structural issues.</p><p>As these methods require and use knowledge of different subject matters, a general introduction to the key areas is provided. This is followed by in-depth explanations supported by design examples, relevant calculations and supplementary material containing related computer programmers. By combining this theoretical and practical approach <i>Stochastic Analysis of Offshore Steel Structures</i> cover a range of key concepts in detail including:</p><p>·         The basic principles of standard 3D beam finite elements and special connections,</p><p>·         Wave loading - from hydrodynamics to the calculation of wave loading on structural members,</p><p>·         Stochastic response calculations with corresponding solution algorithms including earthquakes, and </p><p>·         Fatigue damage, reliability calculation and reliability based design optimization.</p><p>The broad and detailed coverage makes  this a solid reference for research oriented studies and practical sophisticated design methods. Students, researchers, insuring bodies and practical designer offices can turn to <i>Stochastic Analysis of Offshore Steel Structures</i> to broaden their theoretical understanding and develop their practical designs and applications of 3D finite analysis in fixed offshore steel structures.</p>
