Abstract: This paper presents a detailed finite-element analysis of unbonded flexible risers. The numerical results are compared to the analytical solutions for various load cases. In the finite-element ...

Abstract: This paper describes a parametric study of drill string threaded connector design based on a “factorial design” method. The study is facilitated by a hybrid model which has been developed, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical formulation and a finite element analysis of the behavior of multilayer unbonded flexible risers. The finite element model accurately incorporates all the fine ...
