Wave impact forces on a horizontal cylinder

Impact forces due to wave slamming on structural elements of offshore platforms have been known to reach very high magnitudes and contribute to accelerated fatigue of members and joints due to the resulting dynamic response. Results of previously reported theoretical analyses vary by as much as 100%...
