Creator:: Nath, John H.
Abstract:: A numerical model was developed which predicts the dynamic response of a single mooring line and a buoy of forty feet diameter to sinusoidal waves, wind and current in all deep waters. All forces and reactions were considered to be in one plane. The basic equations for the mooring line...

Creator:: Thresher, Robert W. and Nath, John H.
Abstract:: The anchor-last mooring procedure is investigated in order to determine the transient forces in the mooring line and the velocities of the anchor. Transient forces were determined and the results showed that no severe snap loads occurred for the cases investigated. In addition, it was found that the vertical velocity...

Creator:: Gaughan, Michael Kenneth, Komar, Paul D., 1939-, and Nath, John H.
Abstract:: Theoretical b:::-eaking criteria for progressive surface gravity waves are examined, and laboratory and field experiments concerned with breaking waves are reviewed with respect to the testing of these breaking criteria. The measurements of Komar and Simmons are presented here for the first time. Only three theoretical breaking criteria have been...
