Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Thin-Walled Structures, Cracow, Poland on June 5-7, 2001. There has been a substantial growth in knowledge in the field of Thin-Walled Structures over the past few decades. Lightweight structures are in widespread use in the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical, Automobile, Chemical and Offshore Engineering fields. The development of new processes, new methods of connections, new materials has gone hand-in-hand with the evolution of advanced analytical methods suitable for dealing with the increasing complexity of the design work involved in ensuring safety and confidence in the finished products.Of particular importance with regard to the analytical process is the growth in use of the finite element method. This method, about 40 years ago, was confined to rather specialist use, mainly in the aeronautical field, because of its requirements for substantial calculation capacity. The development over recent years of extremely powerful microcomputers has ensured that the application of the finite element method is now possible for problems in all fields of engineering, and a variety of finite element packages have been developed to enhance the ease of use and the availability of the method in the engineering design process.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Analytical and experimental investigations have been conducted to study the influence of perforations on the structural behavior of cold-formed steel structural members. Since in many cases, the load-carrying capacity of cold-formed steel members depends on the buckling behavior of individual component elements, emphasis has been concentrated on the study of the instability and post-buckling strength of perforated elements. In this investigation, the buckling loads and post-buckling strength of stiffened and unstiffened compression elements having single circular and square holes have been studied analytically by using the finite element method. The effects of different holes on the buckling coefficient have been verified by the experimental data obtained from the testing of columns and beams with perforated flanges. The equations for determination of the effective width have been developed on the basis of the post-buckling strength of compression elements. An experimental investigation has been conducted to study the influence of holes on the shear buckling load of beam webs. The test data was compared with analytical results of other investigators. Better correlation was found between the test data and the analytical solution for the simple support condition. A load reduction equation was derived on the basis of the experimental study. The crippling strength of perforated webs were also investigated experimentally. In this investigation, twenty tests were conducted to cover a practical range of height-to-thickness ratios. Based on the results obtained from tests, load reduction factors were derived for steel members with circular and square perforated webs. The stability of perforated plates subjected to equal and opposite point loads were investigated. The trend of this analytic study was found in agreement with the experimental investigation. Design recommendations are developed for: perforated stiffened compression elements, perforated unstiffened compression elements, perforated shear webs, and crippling of perforated webs"--Abstract, pages ii-iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Offshore Engineering addresses the basics of design for offshore oil and gas production systems and examines the health, safety, and environmental (HSE) aspects in the oil and gas industry with emphasis toward safety measures in design and operations. It also covers fundamental issues of crude oil and natural gas exploration and extraction and also includes coverage of seismic surveys and green energy systems. Details of offshore platforms, describing the types, historical development, basics of analysis and design, environmental loads, and potential hazards are also provided. The book serves as a useful resource for universities that teach offshore engineering to senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as a guide for practicing engineers. Includes coverage of wave loads, wind loads, ice loads, and fire loads on structures. Discusses offshore pipelines and subsea engineering to help readers understand the fundamentals of petroleum production and related pipeline installation.

Download or read book Dynamic Analysis and Design of Offshore Structures written by Srinivasan Chandrasekaran and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to various types of offshore platform geometries. It addresses the various environmental loads encountered by these structures, and provides detailed descriptions of the fundamentals of structural dynamics in a classroom style, helping readers estimate damping in offshore structures and grasp these aspects’ applications in preliminary analysis and design. Basic concepts of structural dynamics are emphasized through simple illustrative examples and exercises. Design methodologies and guidelines, which are FORM based concepts, are explained through a selection of applied sample structures. Each chapter also features tutorials and exercises for self-learning. A dedicated chapter on stochastic dynamics helps students to extend the basic concepts of structural dynamics to this advanced domain of research. Hydrodynamic response of offshore structures with perforated members is one of the most recent research applications, and has proven to be one of the most effective means of retrofitting offshore structures. In addition, the book integrates the concepts of structural dynamics with the FORM-evolved design of offshore structures, offering a unique approach. This new edition is divided into seven chapters, each of which has been updated. Each chapter also includes a section on frequently asked Questions and Answers (Q&A), which enhances understanding of this complex subject through easy and self-explanatory text. Furthermore, the book presents valuable content with respect to new and recent research carried out by the author in structural dynamics. All numeric examples have been re-checked with more additional explanations. New exercises have been added to improve understanding of the subject matter. Computer coding is also included (wherever possible) to aid computer-based learning of the contents of the book. The book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in civil, structural, applied mechanics, mechanical, aerospace, naval architecture and ocean engineering programs. The book can also serve as a text for professional learning and development programs or as a guide for practicing and consulting offshore structural engineers. The contents of this book will be useful to graduate students, researchers, and professionals alike.
