Comparisons of Theory With Model Test Data for Tensioned Buoyant Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Dynamic Analysis Models of Tension Leg Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Application of a General Technique for Prediction of Riser Vortex-Induced Response in Waves and Current
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
The Dynamics of Marine Vehicles With Inflectional Righting Moment Curves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
