Abstract: Cavitation inception observations were made in the DTNSRDC 36-inch water tunnel on three axisymmetric headforms with and without various turbulence stimulators installed. Direct transition measurements, ...

Abstract: A method of static analysis for a marine riser experiencing large displacements is presented. The method is suitable for analyzing a riser having a known top tension and a possible slippage ...

Abstract: Cavitation inception observations on a series of axisymmetric headforms were made in the DTNSRDC 36-in. water tunnel. Cavitation inception observed on headforms with natural flow transition is ...

Abstract: Marine riser response calculations are usually based on finite element or finite difference methods. This paper outlines the modal analysis method as an alternate approach for calculating marine ...

Abstract: A simple method is presented for analysis of contact stresses and deformation conditions between the bearing balls, screw, and nut of the ball screw mechanism. The method is based on representation ...

Abstract: Naturally cemented materials often have inherent variabilities in density and degree of cementation. The influence of this variability on the properties of cemented materials is investigated by producing artificially ...

Abstract: A novel methodology is presented in this paper for the workspace analysis of virtual axis machine tools. The workspace is defined which enables to describe in a unified framework both the ...

Abstract: Traditional risk-assessment methods typically evaluate accident probability, exposure frequency or duration, and consequence severity, respectively, and finally determine a quantitative risk score or a qualitative risk ...

Abstract: Individual tubulars attached to marine risers are modelled as continuous axially loaded multiple-spanned beams. Traditional methods for solving continuous beam-column problems require the solution ...
