Abstract :
The effect of nonlinear wave interactions on a fixed offshore structure is examined analytically. Based on Morison´s equation, the dynamic response of a single degree of freedom structure is investigated using the linear (first-order waves) and nonlinear wave interactions (second- and third-order waves) generated by two deepwater wave trains. By comparing the results, it is found that the third-order waves (resonant interactions) can significantly affect structural response.
