Wilson, Muga (both civil and environmental engineering, Duke U.) and Reese (civil engineering, U. of Texas, Austin) provide a text for students, professors, engineers, and researchers working with the design and analysis of structures of the offshore environment. The second edition includes more example problems to illustrate dynamic modeling, analysis, and solution of deterministic and stochastic responses for a wide variety of offshore structures (e.g. buoys, moored ships, platforms of various types). The extensive references of the first edition have been updated, especially source material involving offshore waves, structural model damping, and fluid- structure-soil interactions
