Abstract: This paper investigates the phase angles of the vibrations and hydrodynamic forces by the model testing of a flexible riser's vortex-induced vibration (VIV) under uniform flow. The VIV displacement of the riser is derived ...

Abstract: Vortexinduced vibration (VIV) in oscillatory flow is experimentally investigated in the ocean basin. The test flexible cylinder was forced to harmonically oscillate in various combinations of amplitude and period with ...

Abstract: A model test of a free-hanging riser under vessel motion and uniform current is performed in the ocean basin at Shanghai Jiao Tong University to address four topics: (1) confirm whether vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can ...

Abstract: Flexible pipe with staggered buoyancy elements such as lazy wave riser and drilling riser has been widely used in ocean engineering. Under the influence of sea current, both of the buoyancy elements and the riser may ...

Abstract: This paper presents a time-domain hydroelastic analysis method for bridges supported by floating pontoons in inhomogeneous wave conditions. The inhomogeneous wave effect is accounted for by adopting different wave spectra ...
