The dynamics of catenary moorings in the region surrounding the touchdown point are
studied using experiments and numerical simulations. When the touchdown point speed …

The significant influence of the riser-seabed interaction on the fatigue performance of steel
catenary risers is now widely accepted. Most design, however, is still carried out using linear …

Recently, analytical solutions, of the boundary-layer type, were developed for the static and
dynamic curvature problems in the touchdown point (TDP) region of a catenary riser …

A riser or mooring line, when excited dynamically at its upper end, resists the imposed
displacement by increasing its tension. Viscous damping in the lateral motion is known to be …

This paper investigates the nonlinear free vibration of a marine riser with large
displacement. The nonlinear equation of motion is derived using a variational approach …

Geometrically compliant mooring systems that change their shape to accommodate
deformations are common in oceanographic and offshore energy production applications …

The analytical solution of the suspended heavy cable eigenvalue problem, given in terms of
Bessel functions, has been known for a long time. Also well known and superbly discussed …

The eigenvalue problem of risers is of utmost importance, particularly if vortex-induced
vibration (VIV) is concerned. Design procedures rely on the determination of eigenvalues …

This paper describes the development of a neural-network-based prediction of mooring
forces of a deep-sea oil exploitation production process. The evolvement of a neural network …

This paper describes how the design of a catenary riser can be formulated as an
optimization problem by using riser costs as the criteria function, design requirements in …
