· Ocean Eng.; (United States)
A general method for the dynamic analysis of multi-body offshore structures is presented, based on a constraint matrix approach. A method of deriving the constraint matrix for a general structure is given, and used to derive the equations of motion of a whole system from those of it's component parts. The response of the system to both first and second order random wave forces is found and used to calculate the forces and moments in the connecting mechanisms.
