... how advanced FE analysis can be used to solve unique fire analysis problems such as this where the behavior is not well understood or easily predicted. However, testing and simplified analysis is always recommended to supplement the findings of such an analysis. analysis method upstream oil...

... equipment haverevealed significantly different (and sometimes unexpected) results from thevarious design and analysis methods that are available. Several industrystandard design and analysis methods are discussed and compared, using simpleHPHT equipment geometries to illustrate the authors' findings...

... estimates for a number of representative MODUs and moorings under various environmental conditions. The purpose of the study is to develop understanding and practical guidance for LF damping. The second study compares mooring analysis results from six analysis methods allowed by API RP 2SK for MODU moorings...

... of analysis techniques and principles of selecting analysis approach. Available analysis methods are discussed with emphasis on treatment of important non-linear effects. A large potential for reduction of the computational efforts involved has been identified based on a careful selection of response model...

... analysis methods. These methods include: beam-column formulations; moment-axial load unity check equations; moment-thrust-curvature methods in conjunction with numerical integration; and nonlinear finite element analysis. The reliability and accuracy of these methods was evaluated by comparing...

..., vertically loaded anchors (VLA), and the use of synthetic mooring lines are also provided. This paper focuses on the environmental conditions, mooring analysis methods, safety factors and fatigue aspects of the mooring design requirements. It is hoped that this paper will provide some guidelines...

... Abstract The use of a probabilistic approach for pile design is described and its importance is discussed. The paper illustrates the effect of the uncertainties in pile capacity analysis methods on the reliality of a design. Suggestions are made for the value of model uncertainty to use...

... based mostly on seismic data analysis. Gravity surveys are not used as extensively as seismic surveys, primarily because gravity analysis is not developed to its full capabilities and sensitivities. In this report, a new gravity analysis method is described to remedy the above situation. The new...
