Abstract: This paper presents comparisons between the results of hydrodynamic analysis and two sets of model test data for the wave-induced motion response of tensioned buoyant platforms. The comparisons ...

Abstract: Conventional analysis of tension leg platform structures yields natural frequencies which are well separated from wave excitation frequencies. However, the results presented here show that the ...

Abstract: This paper describes applications of an extension to a recently developed calculation method for vortex-induced response of risers and tethers. The vortex-induced vibration response for the excited ...

Abstract: This paper investigates modifications to the dynamics of a marine vehicle caused by a point of inflection in its hydrostatic righting moment curve. Such inflections are shown to yield multiple ...
