One of the premier international publications in the field of offshore engineering, the Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering disseminates the current state-of-the-art and research activities. The Journal covers the current and future technologies of many innovative offshore and arctic structures. Its peer-reviewed papers cover topics in the general area of offshore mechanics and arctic engineering, including: ocean waves and associated statistics; design of offshore structures; fluid-structure interaction; floating production systems; offshore material performance and applications; corrosion protection and control; offshore structures and ships in ice; soil-pipeline interaction; riskanalysis; ocean space utilization; ocean energy technology; dynamics of structures; ship motions, risers and moorings and cable dynamics; fatigue and fracture reliability and control; welding and NDT technology; offshore pipelines; offshore safety and reliability; and subsea technology. The Journal emphasizes the fundamental mechanics of topics, rather than the applications and case histories, even thoughfew of the noteworthy installations are covered from time to time.
