  • Cable dynamics in an ocean environment

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    The nonlinear dynamic analysis of cable and cable-large body systems subject to both deterministic and non-deterministic loading is presented in this study. Nonlinearities occur due to large displacements, material nonlinearity, lack of stiffness in compression, and the non-conservative fluid loading. A finite element model is used to model the cable...

  • Coupled response of compliant offshore platforms

    Creator:
    Young, Raymond A.
    Abstract:
    A three dimensional finite element analysis is developed which is capable of simulating the coupled static and dynamic behavior of compliant ocean structures. Nonlinearities which result from large-deflection, reduced or zero stiffness in compression, and the nonconservative fluid loading are considered. The spatial variation of fluid loading is also addressed....
