abstract = {The modeling of the interactions of different forcing agents, such as wind and
waves, and maritime structures is a challenging problem with significant applications
in coastal engineering leading to a usual implementation of complex numerical
models. However, at the predesign stages of a project, there is need for
fast, efficient and accurate analytical models that allow the search of the optimal
configurations according to different design criteria. Furthermore, the studies
regarding structural optimization, analytical and experimental, often do not consider
the effect of wind forcing on the incident and reflected swell wave trains
and the interaction with local wind-driven waves due to the complexity of the
nonlinear interactions taking place. By means of Monte Carlo techniques, a large number
of simulations were performed and applied to the analytical model to analyze
the long-term performance of the structure and the uncertainty associated with
the analysis.},
abstract = {El modelado de las interacciones entre diferentes agentes climáticos, como el
viento y el oleaje, con diferentes estructuras marítimas, es un desafío con aplicaciones
muy importantes en ingeniería costera que normalmente conlleva el uso
de modelos numéricos complejos. Sin embargo, en las etapas de prediseño de un
proyecto, se necesitan modelos analíticos rápidos, eficientes y precisos que permitan
la búsqueda de las configuraciones óptimas de acuerdo con diferentes criterios
de diseño. Además, los estudios de interacción oleaje–estructura, analíticos
y experimentales, a menudo no consideran el efecto del forzamiento del viento
en el oleaje incidente y reflejado ni la interacción con mar de viento local debido
a la complejidad de las interacciones no lineales de los procesos físicos. Mediante el uso de técnicas de Monte Carlo,
se realizan una gran cantidad de simulaciones y se utilizan como condiciones de
forzamiento al modelo analítico para analizar el rendimiento a largo plazo de la
estructura y la incertidumbre asociada con el análisis.},
