Ocean Engineering Symposium
Background
This symposium is first initiated during the 21st OMAE 2002
Conference in Oslo, Norway. The purpose of the OCEAN
ENGINEERING symposium is to bring together representatives of the ocean engineering
community to discuss results of their work on design technology,
linear and nonlinear phenomena and the development of experimental, observational and
computational tools. For example, what are the ramifications of the recent
advances in nonlinear mechanics and in computational mechanics on computer-aided
design (CAD)? To answer this and similar questions, this symposium is an
opportunity for the engineers in industry, university, and government to develop
and foster collaborations in their endeavors to improve ocean technology.
