| Description |
This project was a
Joint Industry Project (JIP), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Sea Grant Program. The objective was to assess the global static and dynamic
behavior of complaint risers including current shear flow effects and to evaluate the
effects of the principal engineering parameters on the behavior of such systems. The focus
was on deriving unified analytical solutions for the linear dynamic response of compliant
risers to permit the designer to discern the effects of principal variables and to
evaluate alternative concepts efficiently. Fatigue life estimation verification was the
goal of the project. |
