DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report extensively reviews the state of the art of available and emerging techniques for determining extreme responses of nonlinear marine structures and systems. The contents may be categorized into two parts. The first presents the nonlinear characteristics of wave induced forces and corresponding structural responses. The other discusses the extreme value analysis of nonlinear systems relevant to offshore and marine structural design. Generic procedures for the nonlinear analysis of marine structures were reviewed. Discussions of non-Gaussian random processes and the use of extreme value statistics are included. Methods that may be applied to the probability analysis of extreme events were investigated. Different types of nonlinear behavior of interest for various classes of offshore structures were studied. Various statistical analysis methods are summarized and their applicability, assumptions and limitations are discussed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report presents reliable techniques for modeling extremely compliant structures. The research focuses on severe geometric nonlinearities associated with very large displacements and rotations. The solution requires two major modeling improvements: formulation of well-conditioned finite elements and development of specific control strategies for nonlinear step-by-step solution. Inherent in the physics of the structure, natural events condition the new finite elements. Associated event control directs the numerical solution to adhere closely to the true nonlinear structural response path. The numerical strategies are a simple extension of the trapezoidal rule for time integration and Newton iteration for nonlinear step-by-step solution. The result is extremely fast, efficient, and stable nonlinear structural simulation. A high level of computational robustness is essential for development of fully nonlinear substructured models. A local/global approach allows each substructure to have its own specialized local submodel and its own associated local solution strategy. A global model then integrates all the super-element representations of each diverse submodel. The local/global framework allows the nonlinear solution strategies to efficiently concentrate computational power where and when needed among the submodels. Code development and test problems focus primarily on compliant marine structures, where the need for robust, highly nonlinear simulation is so great.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe responses of offshore structures are significantly affected by steep nonlinear waves, currents and wind, leading to phenomena such as springing and ringing of TLPs, slow drift yaw motion of FPSOs and large oscillations of Spar platforms due to vortex shedding. Research has brought about significant progress in this field over the past few decades and introduced us to increasingly involved concepts and their diverse applicability. Thus, an in-depth understanding of steep nonlinear waves and their effects on the responses of offshore structures is essential for safe and effective designs.This book deals with analyses of nonlinear problems encountered in the design of offshore structures, as well as those that are of immediate practical interest to ocean engineers and designers. It presents conclusions drawn from recent research pertinent to nonlinear waves and their effects on the responses of offshore structures. Theories, observations and analyses of laboratory and field experiments are expounded such that the nonlinear effects can be clearly visualized.
