Özet

Steep wave impact pressures and the structural dynamic respi nse of floating production storage and offloading platform (FPSO) bows are studied using 1:80 scale segmented, instrumented models. The construction of these segmented models is discussed. The 'nev -wave' theory is adopted and extended to generate steep waves and a limiting form of steep wave :hat might be found in deep water is proposed. A comparison between linear theoretical, experimeni al and suggested wave models is made. Experimental results with systemically varying parameters are presented.
