This book was released on 2013-03-23 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes results of longstanding research and scientific contributions from many projects and relevant working groups. It collects and evaluates wind and wave climate projections under changing climate having design needs and marine safety in focus. Potential impact of projected climate change in met-ocean conditions on ships and offshore structures is discussed and illustrated by an example of the expected wave climate change on tanker design. The monograph is intended for students, researchers and industry based engineers who want a summary of the many studies that have been carried out on climate change effects on wind and waves and their importance for design and operations of ship and offshore structures. The reader needs only a moderate knowledge of marine wind and wave climate to follow the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated] The work performed in this thesis is concentrated on the response of offshore facilities upon ship impacts, evaluated by means of non-linear dynamic FE code LS-DYNA. The numerical studies are carried out because of high-energy ship impacts on offshore structures that, despite their low chance of occurrence, are not totally covered/predicted by hand calculations according to the simplified plastic mechanisms as suggested and commonly adopted in the current design practice. Explicit FEA are known for being widely used in collision problems and offer a good alternative to the lack of experiments (especially full-scaled), which would still be extremely costly in comparison to the computational resources demanded by such numerical analyses. However, in order to be able to carry out a significant number of numerical simulations necessary to perform parametrical studies, some simplifications still need to be assumed while trying to keep the accuracy of the FEM. Therefore, an extensive literature review is presented in the thesis to review and discuss every main aspect involved in both internal and external mechanics of the collisions and its respective preponderance on the problem's outcome. Likewise, special care is also devoted to the FEM techniques employed in both ship and installation structures, in particular modelling the members in the contact zone and its surroundings, subjected to significant plastic deformations. It is intended that the numerical study may constitute a solid base for the solutions eventually proposed for easy application in practical engineering problems. The numerical assessment of the collisions considered in this study concentrates primarily on jacket based steel platforms as they are the most representative platform structures among the offshore installations. Based on the principles of strain energy dissipation, the results here obtained can be extrapolated, to some extent, to other platform types.

Download or read book Ship Shaped Offshore Installations written by Jeom Kee Paik and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship-shaped offshore units are some of the more economical systems for the development of offshore oil and gas, and are often preferred in marginal fields. These systems are especially attractive to develop oil and gas fields in deep and ultra-deep water areas and remote locations away from existing pipeline infrastructures. Recently, the ship-shaped offshore units have been applied to near shore oil and gas terminals. This 2007 text is an ideal reference on the technologies for design, building and operation of ship-shaped offshore units, within inevitable space requirements. The book includes a range of topics, from the initial contracting strategy to decommissioning and the removal of the units concerned. Coverage includes both fundamental theory and principles of the individual technologies. This book will be useful to students who will be approaching the subject for the first time as well as designers working on the engineering for ship-shaped offshore installations.

Download or read book Design of Offshore Oil Gas Platforms Against Ship Impacts written by Mostafa Zeinoddini and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offshore platforms have become increasingly important to the oil and gas industry. As part of normal operating activities they are repeatedly visited by heavy vessels. This makes the rig vulnerable to collisions from these vessels. Estimating the possible ship collision damage is important in the safety and integrity assessment of a platform and also for its repair and maintenance. This book deals with the structural behaviour of tubular members of offshore structures subjected to ship collision. It covers both quasi-static and dynamic impact loadings and considers different approaches such as closed form analytical solutions. A relatively sophisticated dynamic experimental modelling and numerical simulation of the impact have also been employed to address the problem. The interaction of the existing axial load in the tubular member and the lateral impact has been thoroughly reviewed. Response of large-scale tubular frames to lateral impacts and the phenomenon of 'dynamic shakedown and response adaptation' have also been addressed. The book is aimed at the practicing professional, but can also serve as a graduate level text for inelastic design of tubular structures.

Download or read book Advances in Berthing and Mooring of Ships and Offshore Structures written by E. Bratteland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two previous NATO Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) on berthing and mooring of ships have been held; the first in Lisboa, Portugal in 1965, and the second at Wallingford, England in 1973. These ASls have contributed significantly to the under standing and development of fenders and mooring, as have works by Oil Companies International Marine Forum (1978) and PIANC (1984). Developments in ship sizes and building of new specialized terminals at very exposed locations have necessitated further advances in the combined mooring and fendering technology. Exploration and exploitation of the continental shelves have also brought about new and challenging problems, developments and solutions. Offshore activities and developments have in fluenced and improved knowledge about both ships and other floating structures which are berthed and/or moored under various environmental conditions. The scope of this ASI was to present recent advances in berth ing and mooring of ships and mooring of floating offshore structures, focusing on models and tools available with a view towards safety and reduction of frequencies and consequences of accidents.
