In many traditional dynamic analysis models, the vehicle system is regarded as a multi-rigid-body system [3, 4, 11].
The model is based on the rigid finite element (RFE) method, which has previously been successfully applied for the dynamic analysis of many complicated, mechanical structures.
This implies that following a dynamic analysis, the results for many sea states can be obtained by simply altering the importance sampling weighting function.
During the years, many researches have been devoted to the static and dynamic analysis of doubly-curved shell structures.
We notice that, while many actors maintain the same role in static and dynamic analysis, some display striking differences.
However, this may involve many performance function evaluations, each requiring a non-linear dynamic analysis, which may be very computationally demanding.
Further details of this method can be found in Appendix B. In the dynamic analysis of a system that has many degrees of freedom, it is the high-frequency modes that are the sources of the numerical instability.
In addition, since the Hotelling rule seems to imply that the prices of many, if not all, commodities are subject to change, a dynamic analysis is appropriate.
The dynamic analysis of a deepwater floating production systems has many complexities, such as the dynamic coupling between the vessel and the riser, the coupling between the first-order and second-order wave forces, several sources of nonlinearities.
