This book covers the basics of the hydrodynamics and vibration of structures subjected to
environmental loads. It describes the interaction of hydrodynamics with the associated …

The recent development on the mechanism and response analysis of vortex-induced
vibration (VIV) of flexible cylinders, particularly the slendr risers in deep water, are …

For a riser array in deep waters interference between individual risers in strong ocean
current is of operational concern and thereby a key design issue. The lateral deflections are …

The paper examines the physics of riser transverse modal vibrations of the type induced by
VIV (Vortex Induced Vibrations). It presents a simplified analytical solution for such vibrations …

As a part of the Norwegian Deepwater Program (NDP) three drilling risershave been
instrumented with accelerometers and rotation-rate meters formeasurement of vortex …

Coupled equations of the dynamic model and the Van der Pol wake oscillator model are
solved by the central finite difference method for the deepwater drilling riser. The vortex …

This doctoral thesis presents new research results on the control of top tensioned risers in
deep waters. The main motivation for this work is the development of a riser control system …

In this study, an experimental investigation is presented on transverse vibrations of a highly
flexible free hanging pipe in water by top end oscillations. The natural frequencies of the …

Fatigue is addressed by all recognized standards and codes, which call for adequate safety
against fatigue failure. This Recommended Practice presents recommendations in relation …

The paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation on dynamic behaviors of a
highly flexible free hanging pipe in calm water. In the numerical study, an implicit finite …
