... substantial importance to the design of deepwater tubulars and platforms. Experiments have been conducted in a current flume on tandem flexible tubulars with diameter ratios of 2:1 and 4:1. The smaller diameter tubular was placed in both the upstream and downstream positions, with the top and bottom...

... in the chain link, and by ignoring plastic deformation. The analysis showed that, for surface diameter to chain diameter ratios of 7 or greater, maximum stresses are not significantly greater than those experienced in straight tension. In the experimental program, stud-link chain specimens were loaded...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents a method for designing thick-walled, non-gusseted tubular joints for static loads. The method is applicable to T-, Y-, and K-joints having branch-to-chord diameter ratios of from 0.25 to 0.75. Given the axial load in a branch, the designer can use this method...
