Abstract: In order to assess the effects of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) and to ensure riser integrity, field monitoring campaigns are often conducted wherein the riser response is recorded by a few data sensors distributed along ...

Abstract: This paper presents two educational experiences as examples of innovation in teaching structural analysis courses. At the University Jaume I de Castellon, Spain, an innovative way was developed to encourage students in the ...

Abstract: Slender marine risers used in deepwater applications can experience vortexinduced vibration (VIV). It is becoming increasingly common for field monitoring campaigns to be undertaken wherein data loggers such as strain ...

Abstract: A wellestablished empirical procedure, which we refer to as weighted waveform analysis (WWA), is employed to reconstruct a model riser's response over its entire length using a limited number of strain measurements. The ...

Abstract: The accuracy of predicted loads on offshore wind turbines depends on the mathematical models employed to describe the combined action of the wind and waves. Using a global simulation framework that employs a domaindecomposition ...

Abstract: In order to test new theories for residual stress measurement or to test the effects of residual stress on fatigue, fracture, and stress corrosion cracking, a known stress test specimen was ...
