Nonlinear Hydrostatic Restoring of Floating Platforms

Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015
This paper provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis to determine the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring loads and stiffnesses of a floating offshore platform. A new approach is developed to calculate the buoyancy forces and the corresponding moments for general 3D displacements of offshore platforms that utilize cylindrical floaters, such as barge ...

Large Column-Supported Floating Platforms

1985
Deep draft spar buoys provide the maximum decoupling from surface waves of any floating structures. The research vessel FLIP, developed at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), demonstrated how the problems of transporting these very long buoys could be solved by towing them in a horizontal attitude and then ballasting them to the vertical ...

Controlling autonomous underwater floating platforms using bacterial fermentation

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Biogenic gas has a wide range of energy applications from being used as a source for crude bio-oil components to direct ignition for heating. The current study describes the use of biogenic gases from Clostridium acetobutylicum for a new application-renewable ballast regeneration for autonomous underwater devices. Uninterrupted (continuous) and blocked

A Tension Leg Floating Platform

1985
The tension leg platform is a new platform concept which is being developed for the Hutton Field in the U.K. sector of the North Sea. The Hutton TLP is a floating drilling and production platform attached by vertical tension legs to piled foundation templates on the sea bed.

Disturbed motion characteristics of small floating platform

2017 3rd IEEE International Conference on Control Science and Systems Engineering (ICCSSE), 2017
A small floating surface is designed for the problem that a detection device works on the sea and is disturbed by waves. The platform is connected by a floating device and a main platform through a flexible cable. The stress condition of the platform under disturbance of random waves is analyzed and the motion equation is established.

Response of floating platforms to seismic excitation

Engineering Analysis, 1984
Abstract The nonlinear transient response of floating platforms to seaquake-induced excitation is studied taking into account cavitation effects. The motion transmitted to the LPG is assumed to consist only of vertical pulses causing the same transient water pressures at all points of the LPG bottom.

Fatigue Analysis of Floating Platforms

2016
General DNVGL has issued a number of guidelines for fatigue assessment of floating platforms. These documents include information that is related to: • modeling environmental loading and response; • modeling principles for analysis models of FPSO (floating production, storage, and offloading vessels); • hydrodynamic analysis methodology; •
