Abstract: Multimode vortexinduced vibration (VIV) of slender risers, respectively, in stepped and shear flows is explored by finite element simulations. Taking account of the interaction between fluid and structure, a hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: The rotationally restrained stepped open cylindrical shells are typical components utilized in the aeronautic, astronautic, and marine fields for their merits in light weight and designated structural enhancement. Nonetheless, ...
