... by the mooring system. Hence, to ensure the life and performance of the offshore plant, the design of mooring system is essential process. For this purpose, it is necessary to predict accurately the tensile load of the mooring system and the motion of the platform accordingly under the given environmental loads...

... rotations under the combined wind, wave, and current loads from different directions. These interlink rotations combined with the pretension of mooring line can cause out-of-plane bending (OPB) stresses in the chain links. In this paper, the calculation of chain s wear under tensile load and OPB load...

... the invalid damage of the joint. Simultaneously, by varieties of damage detection methods, the whole progress from initial damage to final failure has been tracked and recorded. Result shows that under tensile loads, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint is not depended by the corner shape but the corner...

... ABSTRACT Fibre glass reinforced flexible pipe (FGRFP) is widely used in the field of onshore and offshore pipelines for transport of oil and chemicals in recent years. This paper presents the mechanical properties of FGRFP under tensile load by establishing a 3D finite element model in ABAQUS...

Suction Buckets Behaviour Under Tensile Loads: A Numerical Study With FEM Paola Dutto, Matthias Baeßler, Peter Geißler Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung (BAM) Berlin, Germany ABSTRACT Suction Bucket Jackets (SBJ) are found as a suitable alternative to driven piles for the support...

... near the crack tip in the un-penetrated region while the specified tensile loads were applied on the specimens. Fig. 3 demonstrates the test setup of the digital camera experiment. The procedures to acquire the CODs near the crack tip in the un-penetrated region are simply described as follows: 1...

... Summary Thickness exponent for base material obtained from two literature sources is 0.063 under tensile load and 0.125 under bending load. There is no enough data to make any conclusion taking into account that the reference fatigue life is 106 cycles in (Orjasaeter et al, 1987) and 2x106 cycles in (NRIM...
