OE 636 Topics in the Application of Stochastic Process Theory in Ocean Engineering
An expansion upon three important topics introduced in OE 205. The first topic is random data reduction and interpretation in ocean engineering; and basic methods of auto- and cross-spectral analysis, statistical errors, design of experiments, and directional-wave spectra estimation. The second deals with the application of probabilistic design methods in ocean engineering; and the third is a survey of the state-of-the-art marine applications of nonlinear random process theory.
