Abstract: As the development of offshore oil and gas continues to move into deeper waters, the risers connecting the seabed infrastructure to the offshore platform are getting longer. This means that vortex-induced vibration (VIV) ...

Abstract: In this paper, the first-order reliability method (FORM) found in connection with structural reliability analysis is first used in an inverse manner to efficiently obtain an approximate solution of the full long-term extreme ...

Abstract: This paper presents an engineering approach to study the effects of soil profile variation and scour on structural response of an offshore monopile wind turbine. A wind-wave model for finite water depth is proposed to ...
