This article proposes a novel hybrid optimization method based on a typical Machine Learning algorithm for designing an optimal pipeline route. The proposed optimal route design is compared with one...

Thus, this study evaluates the influence of these factors on a representative scenario route configuration. The case study results indicated the slope stability...

Any such failure can end up in a collision with a surface or subsea obstacles, of catastrophic implications. A mathematical method was established based on probabilistic statistical analysis...

However, the use in bad calculations of the steady current measured or estimated for the open sea far away from the platform leads to a significant overestimate of the currentinduced components of the loading. The presence of obstacles in a steady current alters the structure of the flow field...

... of the mining site (fig. 1). The main characteristics to be taken into account are topography (slopes and obstacles) and abundance. A given mining system has limitations as regards its manoeuvering capabilities, which mainly depend on whether a towed collector or a self-propelled collector is used (fig. 2...

... and concentration. It clearly appears (fig. 2) that the cut off of slopes exceeding 10 % induces quite a great deal of U-turns if we want to sweep the largest part of the mining site. Depending on miner manoeuvrability, narrow patches will be treated as remote obstacles and avoided by the miner alone, without...

... ABSTRACT Pipelines constructed from offshore areas often encounter physical barriers or obstacles as they come ashore. Obstacles encountered may be in the form of difficulties to construct through a heavy surf or unstable areas, environmental or recreational restrictions, construction...

Clearly, a great deal of instrumentation is required to fully answer such questions, and furthermore, since events of high stress are infrequent, an extended period of data...
