A theory of nonlinear wave loading on offshore structures by Lokenath Debnath, Matiur Rahman

“…The modified equation is found in the form D≡Fℓ+Fnℓ+FD where Fnℓ≡Fd+Fw+Fq is the nonlinear contribution made up of the dynamic, waterline, and the quadratic forces associated with the irrotational-flow part of the wave loading on structures. The study has then been applied to calculate the linear and the nonlinear wave loadings on a large vertical cylinder partially immersed in an ocean of arbitrary uniform depth. …”
