presenlcd. Chapter 3 contains the thwntieal malellingd the problem at hand. Thc- orclieal formulations h ad on wave and structural meehanica, applicable to the research, are shown. Besida, a desuiptim of the computer implementa- tion lo obtain theoretical estimate ia given. Chsplcr I discusses the physical modelling. This indudes the develop mont of tho modelling laws, difficulties -dated with hydra-elaatis modelling, and thcdesign and fabrication of theexperimental hydm-elmticmodel. In Chapter 5, a description of the experimental study is presenled. This inmrporalos n briddcscriptionofthe instmmcntation used in both the inair tests, to obtain f m aicillation damping factors, and in-water tests, to study lhc dynamic hchavior of the structure due to wave action. Chapter 6 focuses on the analysis of the resuila. Theory fomulations, whiclr inciudc the Maximum Entmpy Method (MEM), are explained and their npplicatians (in this dissertation) shown. The theoretical and cuperimcntal results are prerented in Chapter 7. An cvsluntion of these resulla is giwn in Chapter 8. And, finally, concluding remarks and ncommendalions for future research are outlined in Chapter 9.
