... has traditionally been modeled with a rigid support, the steel plate that supports the insulation may be flexible under the relevant load conditions. It is shown that the flexibility of the steel plate causes significant stress variation in the insulation. Different response patterns of the Mark III...

... and steep seabed conditions require the use of approximately 2.8 × 10 6 tons of rock to support and stabilize the pipelines. The sea bottom conditions on the Norwegian continental shelf are characterized by many outcrops as well as very soft clay deposits. The immediate settlement of the rock supports...

... simplest form, a VIVACE modulo consists of a single rigid cylinder mounted on elastic supports and connected to a power takeoff (PTO) system. The cylinder is placed in a steady unidirectional current and excited in vortex induced vibration (VIV). In this paper, the VIVACE modulo was tested in the Low...

Many offshore structures are supported by vertical columns of a circular cross section, which are subjected to wave diffraction. Even with the simplifying assumptions of ideal flow, the interaction of water...

... distances between fabrication site to the operating site introduces several risk factors. On the other hand, the column stabilized conventional semisubmersible has many disadvantages as discussed earlier, which makes it less suitable to support dry-tree applications. Thus the oil industry will welcome...

... of the box-shaped base that supports the four vertical columns was studied independently from the columns, using data from regular wave model tests of the Malampaya CGS. DELFRAC was shown to give accurate results for the focusing of waves over the submerged structure. Results from regular wave data analysis...
