Abstract: Flexible risers provide optimum solutions for deep water offshore fields. Reliable dynamic analysis of this kind of slender structure is crucial to ensure safety against long time fatigue failure. Beyond the effects from ...

Abstract: Slender marine structures are subjected to ocean currents, which can cause vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). Accumulated damage due to VIV can shorten the fatigue life of marine structures, so it needs to be considered in ...
