Structural fatigue assessment of a fixed mono-pile platform

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Fatigue assessment of fixed offshore platforms is essentially important to ensure their structural safety. Because of the small-scale leg diameter, these structures are often drag dominated, and linearized wave force is often utilized for the fatigue ...

Wave-Forced Barotropic Currents

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2005
Abstract Waves rolling in to shallow seas will start to dissipate as a result of the bottom friction. The wave momentum will decrease from the dissipation process, and there is a transfer of momentum that accelerates an Eulerian bottom current. Water piles up toward the coast, thereby generating a return flow.

Wave Actions and Responses for Large-Diameter Monopod Platform Structures

Journal of Innovative Science and Engineering
The sea-wave loads acting on the fixed offshore structures are estimated by using Airy's linear wave theory and Morison's equation, dissociating the total force into an inertia force component and a drag force component.
