Sustainable Marine Structures

Abstract: This study investigates the hydro-elastic behaviors of fully submerged horizontal cylinders in different regular waves. Two methods were proposed and compared in this study. The first method was based on potential theory in frequency domain and the discrete-module-beam (DMB) method, which discret...

Abstract: With the increasing demand of energy and the limitation of bottom-fixed wind turbines in moderate and deep waters, floating offshore wind turbines are doomed to be the right technical choice and they are bound to enter a new era of rapid development. The mooring system is a vital system of a floa...

Abstract: Unlike traditional transportation, container transportation is a relatively new logistics transportation mode. Shipping containers lost at sea have raised safety concerns. In this study, finite element analysis of containers subjected to hydrostatic pressure, using commercial software ANSYS APDL ...

Abstract: Subsea templates are steel structures used to support subsea well components. Normally, offshore crane vessels are employed to install them to the target location on the seabed. Crossing the splash-zone during the lowering of a subsea template is considered the most critical phase...
