... coupling multiple piers and connecting structure for a comprehensive ice-wind-structural dynamics model. All three of these key design components can be better understood by examination of the periodic steady state motion. The Poincaré map is an effective means of mapping the system response...

...Jeffrey M. Falzarano; Srinivas Vishnubhotla; Sarah E. Juckett In this paper various techniques of dynamical system analysis are used to analyze the effect of damping on large amplitude nonlinear ship-rolling motion of a patrol vessel. In particular steady state magnification curves, Poincare maps...
