(2015-09-27)Sand dunes protect coastal areas by absorbing wave energy generated by storms. However, during wave impact the dunes can be eroded heavily. Restoring native vegetation and placing plant biomass on dunes may decrease erosion ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Previous derivations of the continuum Boussinesq-type equations are investigated and compared through a nondimensional order-of-approximation to establish a unique equation set. The resulting continuum equation set is ...
-
(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 ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)A mathematical model is developed to evaluate the effect of the hull girder stiffness on ship slamming loads. A two-degree-of-freedom spring-box system is used to model the ship's foward bottom where slamming occurs. The ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The influence of wave-current interactions on the fluid loading of large offshore structures has been investigated by extending the conventional diffraction theory approach to include the changes in the incident and scattered ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Maintenance and new work dredging of existing waterways and navigational channels is vital to the Nation's economy. Cutterhead dredges share the major burden of dredging in the United States. The sediments in the waterways ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The purpose of the research reported here was to develop empirical capability of predicting the erosion rates of cohesionless dredged material islands for wave and wind environment similar to that of the Upper Laguna Madre, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)To reduce large motion responses of moored platforms in a harsh environment in deep waters, a thruster-assisted position mooring system can be applied. By applying the system, global dynamic responses can be improved in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Presently, deep draft navigation channel analysis, design and review is based on empirically derived ratios of the design vessel's dimensions. Because of the radical changes in vessel operational purposes and characteristics, ...
