    • Beauty waves: an artistic representation of ocean waves using Bezier curves 
      Faulkner, Jay Allen (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
      In this thesis, we present a method for computing an artistic representation of ocean waves using Bezier curves. Wave forms are loosely based on procedural wave models and are designed to emulate those found in both art ...
    • Dissipation of Group Waves in Shallow Water for Wave Model Input 
      Pauling, David Alexander (2018-06-01)
      Surface wave data from sixteen different laboratory experiments using single and double peaked spectra was processed for wave energy spectra, shape, and dissipation parameters to describe the evolution of the double-peaked ...
    • Dynamic analysis of tension-leg platforms 
      Malaeb, Dia Aref (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)
      The dynamic response of tension-leg platforms subjected to wave loading and ground motions was investigated using a deterministic dynamic analysis. The model employed in this study is based on derived coupled nonlinear ...
    • The Effect of Vegetation Density on the Resilience of Coastal Dune Systems Against Wave-Induced Erosion 
      Tyler, Robert Cory (2013-09-28)
      Coastal Dune systems often are the first line of defense against storm surge and wave attack for coastal infrastructure and communities. The preservation of existing dune systems and the restoration of degraded ones should ...
    • Experimental studies of beach scour due to wave action 
      Song, Won Oh (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)
      A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the processes involved in the formation of beach scour, caused by wave action, on a natural beach and a seawall beach. The studies also involved in the determination of ...
    • Parameterization and Statistical Analysis of Hurricane Waves 
      Mclaughlin, Patrick William (2014-05-03)
      Recently, Gulf coast communities have experienced significant damage from landfalling hurricanes. While the effects of hurricane surge on coastal communities have been examined and better defined, risk of damage due to ...
