510275y using the theories on Stokes multicolored water waves and taking the two- layer ocean as a basic model of stratified ocean;
the paper analyzes the problems related to the effects of the nonlinear water wave on offshore structures. A mathematical expression is presented to describe second order wave radiation conditions. Using integral principle;
the analytical integral solutions are given to evaluate second order scattered wave loads on general vertical circular cylinders in the two-layer ocean;
and the special recurrence formulas for infinite integrals over free and stratified surfaces are derived.;
