Dear Members,

I would like to know about any method to understand the non-linear motion of Floating Circular Cylinders subjected to large amplitude motions.

regards

Dr.K.Thiruvenkatasamy

cud u plz give me an example for this phenomena(application) .........is it like the motion of a jumping dolphin?

Hi Dr.K,

I'm not sure how large your cylinder motions are, but I can recommend an interesting book to get you pointed in the right direction:

Ocean Waves & Oscillating Systems, Johannes Falnes, Cambridge University Press, 2002.

I hope this helps.
