Experimental Study on Vortex-Induced Vibration of Riser under Wake Interference
To explore the relationship between the incoming flow velocity and the response characteristics of risers under different arrangement modes,and to compare and analyze the flow interference effects under different working conditions,the vortex-induced ...

Resistance of Trapezoidal Sheeting in Fire
Abstract Cold‐formed steel trapezoidal sheeting has a significant decrease of its bending resistance in fire due to the small sheet thickness. The bending resistance is generally reached within 10 minutes of a fire. However, the failure in bending is followed by transitions from bending behaviour to a catenary action.

Testing and modeling dowel and catenary action in rebars crossing shear joints in RC [PDF]
Abstract This paper presents a detailed study of the shear behavior of two-sided dowel joints, which includes initiation of dowel action at small shear displacements and development of full catenary action in the reinforcement at large displacements. In addition to experimental results, the paper also presents a simple, second order plasticity model ...

Tracking Mooring Lines of Floating Structures by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
ABSTRACT This study presents a novel method for tracking mooring lines of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a tilt‐controlled Multibeam Imaging Sonar (MBS). The proposed approach enables the AUV to estimate the 3D positions of mooring lines and safely track them in real‐time, overcoming ...

Finite Element Modelling of Catenary Action in a Cross-Laminated Timber Floor System
Buildings taller than four storeys require the designer to mitigate consequences of unexpected events, e.g. terrorism or accidents, such that a disproportionate collapse can be avoided after initial damage. One approach to halt damage propagation is using structural robustness, i.e. by providing alternative load paths. For platform-type cross-laminated

Design Aspects of Positional Mooring System Based on LR FOIFL Rules [PDF]
Floating offshore units, such as FPSOs, are subject to dynamic excitations from the environment and require to be moored to maintain position at the fix location of operation.

$G$-prime and $G$-primary $G$-ideals on $G$-schemes
Let $G$ be a flat finite-type group scheme over a scheme $S$, and $X$ a noetherian $S$-scheme on which $G$-acts. We define and study $G$-prime and $G$-primary $G$-ideals on $X$ and study their basic properties.

ABSTRACT Computationally efficient frequency‐domain models can play a very important role in facilitating conceptual design optimization of floating wind turbines (FWTs). However, achieving sufficient accuracy in such models is challenging due to the nonlinear variation of the aerodynamic loads, particularly the interaction between the floating ...

Abstract Submesoscale processes are important contributors to the global heat budget and generally support upward heat transport through restratification. However, in salinity‐stratified regions, such as the northern Gulf of Mexico with its influx of freshwater from the Mississippi‐Atchafalaya river system, temperature can act like a passive tracer and
