...Xueliang Wen; Muk Chen Ong; Hui Cheng The structural response of gravity-type fish cages in waves and currents is numerically investigated. A Morison model is adopted to compute the hydrodynamic forces acting on the net ropes and a screen model is used to compute the hydrodynamic forces on the net...

... structure, which consists of different materials and requires a careful analysis with due consideration of the load process and dynamic effects in the response. The structural response of the membrane tank wall is investigated in this paper by finite element analyses. First, a modal composition...

..., fluid motion in the tank, excited pressures, and relevant structural responses. Method of Approach. Ship motion analysis is based on linear strip theory. In order to investigate the dependence of the sloshing response on sea conditions, an approach based on statistical characteristics of the tank motion...
