  • Organizational factors in the reliability assessment of offshore systems

    Creator:
    Biondi, Esteban L.
    Abstract:
    The reliability of ocean systems is dependent on organizational factors. It has been shown that low probability / high consequence system failures are overwhelmingly induced by organizational factors. However, no methodology is yet widely accepted for the evaluation of this phenomenon or its accurate quantification. A qualitative complementary approach is...

  • 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....
