(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This study focuses on the analysis of measured directional seas using a nonlinear model, named Directional Hybrid Wave Model (DHWM). The model has the capability of decomposing the directional wave field into its free wave ...
-
(2010-07-14)Structural designs barely consider the dynamic scenario of a well-developed impinging wave hitting the structure. The usual area of focus is on static and stability factors (e.g. drag, inertia, resistive forces related to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Computer models are nowadays routinely used in harbor engineering applications. Models based on the two-dimensional elliptic mild-slope equation can simultaneously simulate refraction, diffraction, reflection, and dissipation ...
-
(2015-07-13)This thesis explores the propagation of acoustic waves in pipe strings by designing a series of experimental procedures to characterize their behavior. It describes in detail four sets of experiments that were used to ...

(2010-01-16)The damaging effects of hurricane landfall on US coastal bridges have been studied using physical model testing. Hurricane bridge damage and failure susceptibility has become very evident, especially during hurricane ...

(2018-06-08)This study is to compare and validate two models for random wave transformation with experimental data. Both models are based on frequency domain KdV equation. First model is a modified version of KdV equation which was ...
