Lu, Hang (2012-10-19)With the increasing developments of exploiting oil and natural gas in deep water and harnessing renewable (wave and wind) energy in the sea, mooring lines and risers are widely deployed to position the related floating ...
-
Felix Gonzalez, Ivan (2015-03-03)Due to size limitations of wave basins worldwide it is necessary to employ statically equivalent truncated mooring and riser systems to test floating systems to be deployed in deep and ultra-deep waters. A procedure for ...
-
Besnard, Stephane (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Every type of current meter is different and has its proper characteristics. Knowing the performance of a current meter is essential in order to use it properly either for field or laboratory measurements (such as in the ...
-
Zhi, Yuanzhe (2013-07-11)Container vessel motions need to be small when loading and offloading cargo while moored to wharfs. Waves and their reflections from structures can induce ship motions. These motions are characterized by six degrees of ...
-
Chi, Chao-Ming (2010-10-12)This study presents the applications of plastic limit analysis to offshore foundations and anchors, including the drag embedment anchors (DEAs) for mobile offshore drilling units (MODU’s) and spudcan foundations for jack-up ...
-
Tavassoli, Armin (2016-11-30)This Record of Study presents the author’s experience in the capacity of riser lead and technical advisor working on multiple engineering and management project assignments by Cuneiform Offshore Consulting (Cuneiform). ...
-
Kiecke, Adam Fuller (2012-07-16)The Constitution Truss Spar, operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC), is located in Green Canyon Block 679 and 680 in a water depth of 1,500 m. It was installed in October of 2006 and has since weathered multiple ...
-
Kim, Kyung Sung (2014-05-07)The coupling and interactions between ship motions and inner-liquid tank sloshing have been investigated by a coupled program between ship motion and sloshing analysis programs. For the sloshing program, Moving Particle ...
-
Yang, He (2015-12-02)The potential for the development of offshore wind farms for deep water has inspired new designs of floaters that could survive harsher environments. Among all of the proposed designs, spar-type wind turbine appears to be ...
-
Xu, Ning (2010-07-14)The static stability of a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) with an intact tendon system is principally provided by its tendons and hence quite different from those of a conventional ship or even a floating structure positioned ...
-
Su, Lin (2012-07-16)Statistics of met-ocean conditions including wind, current and wave at the location between west and central Gulf of Mexico (GOM) are derived based on about three year of field measurements. Two-parameter Weibull distribution ...
-
Huang, Liqing (2010-10-12)Suction piles are used for anchoring the mooring lines at the seafloor. One of the challenges of their installing is the occurrence of the heave resonance of the pile-cable system and possibly the heave induced pitch ...
-
Nakhaee, Ali (2011-02-22)The fatigue life of a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) near its touch-down zone is substantially affected by its interaction with the seabed. Hence, accurate estimate of its fatigue life requires the understanding and realistic ...
-
Baquet, Aldric (2010-10-12)Wave scattering by arrays of cylinders has received special attention by many authors and analytical solutions have been derived. The investigation of optical and acoustical analogies to the problem of interaction of water ...
