Chaos in a long rectangular wave channel

Bowline, Cynthia M. (1993-11-24)

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 ...
Deterministic and stochastic control of nonlinear oscillations in ocean structural systems

King, Paul E. (2006-03-08)

Complex oscillations including chaotic motions have been identified in off-shore and submerged mooring systems characterized by nonlinear fluid-structure interactions and restoring forces. In this paper, a means of con ...
