An offshore structural design should accurately calculate wave loads and structural responses acting on slender cylinders. The hydrodynamic drag-dominated force was always challenging, hence the hydrodynamic wave loading became a complex solution; it led...

Ship hull structural damages are often caused by extreme wave-induced loads. Reliable load predictions are required to minimize the risk of structural failures. One conceivable approach relies on direct computations of extreme events with appropriate num...
