Ocean waves and oscillating systems. Linear interactions including wave-energy extraction/Океанские волны и колебательные системы. Линейные взаимодействия, включая извлечение волновой энергии

Издание на английском языке
This book is intended to provide a thorough consideration of the interaction between waves and oscillating systems under conditions where amplitudes are sufficiently small that linear theory is applicable. In practice, this small-wave assumption is reasonably valid for most of the time, during which, for example, a wave-energy converter is generating most of its income. During the rather rare extreme-wave situations, however, nonlinear effects may be significant, and such situations influence design loads, and hence the costs, for ships and other installations deployed at sea. This matter is treated in several other books.
