Adcock; Saishuai Dai; Dezhi Ning; Lifen Chen; Jinxuan Li; Rongquan Wang; Jun Zang Accurate prediction of nonlinear wave loading is crucial for designing marine and offshore structures, yet it remains a challenging task. Prior...

... the development of a data-driven model. Based on numerically synthesized nonlinear wave records calculated using exact second-order theory, ANN models were trained to separate the nonlinear bound components at an up-wave location, propagate the linear waves, and reintroduce the nonlinear components...

... of kurtosis of the process. It is determined also that mean group length is shorter and the mean high run is larger for the nonlinear wave groups in comparison with the Gaussian wave groups. The modification of wave groups in space and time is investigated in the work as well. Wigner time-frequency spectrum...

... method of Faltinsen, Newman, and Vinje (1995, “Nonlinear Wave Loads on a Slender, Vertical Cylinder,” J. Fluid Mech., 289, pp. 179–198) . The method is used to compare loads calculated based on measured surface elevations with measurements of loads on two cylinders with different diameters...
