Abstract: A method of analysis is presented to predict the nonlinear dynamic behavior of compliant offshore structures, in particular guyed tower platforms. The structural model is analyzed in time domain ...

Abstract: An analytical model to predict the dynamic response of a riser in regular waves or in current to vortex shedding-induced lift forces is described. The riser is treated as a continuous beam ...

Abstract: As the offshore industry moves into deeper water, the dynamic behavior of structures becomes a very important parameter in the overall design procedures. In particular, the cyclic nature of ...
