Nonlinear wave forces on a surface-piercing vertical circular cylinder are considered using a time-stepping method previously developed which is based on Green's theorem. Possible improvements in the efficiency, accuracy, and stability of the method are considered. Results based on this method are compared with those obtained previously using perturbation methods as well as with experimental results. It is found that the time-stepping method adopted here is quite reasonable. Wave force coefficients are given as functions of the governing parameters of the problem and the importance of nonlinear wave effects on the forces is assessed. Key words: hydrodynamics, ocean engineering, offshore structures, waves, wave forces.

The present paper provides a review of recent research on various nonlinearities that arise in ocean wave interactions with offshore structures. These include nonlinearities associated with the incident waves alone, the response of slender structural members to waves, and the nonlinear diffraction problem involving wave interactions with large structures. Emphasis is given to areas of current research into two particular nonlinear problems. One concerns an investigation into alternative approximations to the Morison equation for flexible structures and the other concerns the numerical simulation of nonlinear wave diffraction around large structures. Key words: diffraction, hydrodynamics, nonlinear flow, ocean engineering, offshore structures, waves.

Shock-induced reactions (or shock synthesis) have been studied since the 1960’s but are still poorly understood, partly due to the fact that the reaction kinetics are very fast making experimental analysis of the reaction difficult. Shock synthesis is closely related to combustion synthesis, and occurs in the same systems that undergo exothermic gasless combustion reactions. The thermite reaction (Fe2O3 + 2Al -> 2Fe + Al2O3) is prototypical of this class of reactions. The effects of shock-wave passage through porous (powder) materials are complex, because intense and non-uniform plastic deformation is coupled with the shock-wave effects. Thus, the particle interiors experience primarily the effects of shock waves, while the surfaces undergo intense plastic deformation which can often result in interfacial melting. Shock synthesis of compounds from powders is triggered by the extraordinarily high energy deposition rate at the surfaces of the powders, forcing them in close contact, activating them by introducing defects, and heating them close to or even above their melting temperatures.
