Highlights

Hydroelasticity means that dynamic simulations require an integrated calculation of elastic deformations and hydrodynamic forces
Dynamic response of marine structures is another important discipline in marine technology, and six papers are found in this category
A global analysis must normally be carried out by use of nonlinear time domain methods, but the global model will normally not include a detailed model of all elements in a cross section
