-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)A number of studies have already discussed the influence of various nonlinear effects on the response of a spar and the variation of the results with different approaches. In this work, the effects of the values of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)A series of experiments applying regular linear, nonlinear waves (Stokes 5th order-like) and random waves on a fixed FPSO model were performed in the wave-flume tank. Statistical information was gathered for wave overtopping ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)In 1968, federal authorization was given for the mouth of the Colorado River project in response to a need for a dependable, navigable channel connecting the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico near the town ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)This thesis is a two-part discussion concerning a Gulf of Mexico beach in Jefferson County, Texas. The first part involves collecting and analyzing shoreline evolution data for an ongoing Texas A&M University Ocean ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)As more oil and gas are discovered in deeper water than ever before, the offshore industry has become increasingly interested in the design of advanced offshore production platforms. A new design concept called FLOATING ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)As the quest for oil and gas resources drives the industry to ever deeper waters, model testing still represents an essential step after numerical modeling when designing offshore platforms in these hostile environments. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1997)A series of experiments is conducted in a two-dimensional glass-walled wave tank to confirm numerical solutions based on two-dimensional linear hydro-elastic theory for a horizontal flexible-membrane wave barrier. The model ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1993)Waves in the oceans pose challenging problems to offshore structural design because they arc irregular and can be highly nonlinear. Although these irregular waves can be viewed as the summation of many linear wave components ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Experimental studies were conducted to measure the motion of unrestrained cylinders with different diameters (0.048 m-0. 1 15 m), specific gravities (1.57-3.17) and aspect ratios (3.56-8.67), rolling on an impermeable, ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1994)This research study focused on wave-current interaction with a single, flexible cylinder representative of a riser in 500 in (1640 ft) of water. Realistic environmental conditions were obtained by combining wave and current ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Since significant amounts of recycled glass may be used as a substitute of materials for beach nourishment in urban beaches, laboratory experiments were proposed to understand the performance characteristics of glass versus ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1981)Not available
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) can pose a serious design threat for offshore structures, especially slender cylindrical deepwater structure like a spar. Numerous studies have been conducted in developing prediction models ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)This paper presents the results of experiment of nonlinear Stokes 5th order waves and forces measured in the Ocean Engineering Hydrodynamic Laboratory. It also presents analysis of the data and the comparison with hydrodynamic ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Real sea states cannot be represented adequately by a single sine wave. Indeed, wind-generated waves in the ocean have obviously different amplitudes and frequencies, but also come from different directions. Consequently, ...
