Abstract

A systematic investigation of the dynamics of an offshore system is presented using two different approaches. The multiple scales method and path following techniques in combination with numerical integration of the equations of motion are applied in order to analyze the dynamics of a periodically forced floating crane in frequency and time domain, respectively.
