The Offshore Technology Symposium covers the following subjects: ocean waves, hydrodynamic forces, nonlinear hydrodynamics, fluid structure interaction, motions of floating structures, compliant structures, risers/moorings/cables, structural mechanics/analysis, design methods of structures, prototype structures, and computer technology/expert systems. The session on ocean waves includes numerical simulation, irregular and hurricane waves, laboratory data on nonlinear wave groups, and measurement techniques, as well as offshore field data. There are numerous papers on hydrodynamics and nonlinear hydrodynamics. They include analytical, numerical, and experimental research on fixed and moving offshore structures. The sessions of the fluid structure interaction and motions of floating structures mainly deal with the dynamics of floating offshore structures. These papers are followed by compliant structures and risers and mooring lines. There is one session on structural mechanics dealing with structural member loading effect and structure/soil interaction problems. Design methods of different offshore structures including jackets, concrete platforms, and articulated and guyed towers have been included. Also, several prototype structures have been discussed here. Finally, the session on computer technology includes such topics as automation, computer modeling, and expert systems.
