The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized
Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped
parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in
a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if
th ...
The Melnikov method is applied to a model of parametrically generated cross-waves in a long rectangular channel in order to determine if these cross-waves are chaotic. A great deal of preparation is involved in order to ...
The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations
led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for
the first nuclear waste repository in the United State ...
Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport
barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used ...
Complex nonlinear and chaotic responses have been recently observed in various
compliant ocean systems. These systems are characterized by a nonlinear mooring
restoring force and a coupled fluid-structure interaction e ...

Two types of boundary element models are developed for the interaction of waves with trenches. The first type is for a two-dimensional domain in the horizontal plane and employs the linear long wave approximations. It is ...
