Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Newly updated and translated into English for the first time, this standalone handbook perfectly combines background and theory with real-world experiments. All key topics are covered, including environmental conditions, wave theories, hydrostatics, and wave and current loads, with emphasis on nonlinear wave body interaction. Focus is given to model testing, an important component in the design of offshore structures. Recent results on the hydrodynamics of perforated structures, moonpool and gap resonance, and third-order interaction effects, have been added to this updated version. Based on practical experience from multiple industry collaborations, combined with lectures that have been honed and improved over more than 30 years, the pedagogical, real-world approach in this book make it an ideal companion for graduate students and researchers as well as ocean engineers.
