... considering the regional differences of water properties. In this study, the whole Hong Kong waters is firstly divided into 6 clusters for the inspection of their respective water quality characteristics. The local models for a specific cluster are then developed and compared with the original single model...

... integrated coupled global riser and local 3D finite element (FE) wellhead model is developed and is assumed to provide the most accurate fatigue estimate. Two other coupled models with simplified local models are also developed and analyzed. The two simplified local models replace the 3D FE model with a pipe...

...-dimensional fracture mechanics analysis using shellsolid zooming method is proposed. Global model and local model are used in the analysis. Whole structure is modeled by shell elements as a global model. Local structure and three-dimensional crack are modeled by solid elements as a local model. Tetrahedral...

... as bendinginduced ovalization (Brazier Effect). General agreement between the global and local model predictions is verified to ensure result accuracy. The paper focuses on the loop bends, which have been found to be one of the more critical elements in the loop because of the Brazier Effect. Geometric...
