  • Cable dynamics in an ocean environment

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    The nonlinear dynamic analysis of cable and cable-large body systems subject to both deterministic and non-deterministic loading is presented in this study. Nonlinearities occur due to large displacements, material nonlinearity, lack of stiffness in compression, and the non-conservative fluid loading. A finite element model is used to model the cable...

  • Simulation of random, nonlinear wave forces on a circular cylindrical pile

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    Two types of linear random wave simulation methods are investigated; viz., (1) Deterministic Spectral Amplitude (DSA) and (2) Nondeterministic Spectral Amplitude (NSA). These linear simulations are extended to second-order in a perturbation expansion in the frequency domain by utilizing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The nonlinear interaction matrix for waves...

  • Coupled response of compliant offshore platforms

    Creator:
    Young, Raymond A.
    Abstract:
    A three dimensional finite element analysis is developed which is capable of simulating the coupled static and dynamic behavior of compliant ocean structures. Nonlinearities which result from large-deflection, reduced or zero stiffness in compression, and the nonconservative fluid loading are considered. The spatial variation of fluid loading is also addressed....

  • Defining leisure and recreation in Malaysia

    Creator:
    Wong, Jenny Lai Ping
    Abstract:
    The fundamental aim of this study was to determine how Malaysians define both leisure and recreation. Two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malays, and rural and urban variants of these groups were included in the sample. The other objective was to determine if there were differences in the definitions due to...
