WAFO -- a Matlab toolbox for analysis of random waves and loads
Abstract
WAFO (Wave Analysis for Fatigue and Oceanography) is a toolbox of
Matlab routines for statistical analysis and simulation of random
waves and random loads. An important part are routines for calculation of
theoretical distributions of wave characteristics from observed or
theoretical power spectra of the sea. A new
philosophy concerning documentation is presented.
The toolbox contains scripts for generation of plots in recent
publications and scripts for comparison with results in the
literature. The theoretical density of rainflow cycles can be computed
from parameters of random loads.
