..., the principal coordinates, the vertical displacements, and the bending moments are all random variables. Extreme values of bending moments are predicted on the basis of the theory of stationary stochastic processes. The predicted linear and nonlinear results of bending moments show that the influences...

Therefore, it is important that nonlinear waves be considered when predicting long-term loads in evaluating limit states for offshore wind turbine design. bending extrapolation offshore installations stochastic...

In accordance with the standard current approach, the entire analysis is based on the assumption that the quantities to be estimated can be modelled as stochastic variables and that the underlying phenomenon manifesting itself in the observed data can be modelled as a stochastic process.
