Comparative Study on Fatigue Analysis Methods using Turret-moored FPSO Model
Abstract: Abstract Floating structures are prone to fatigue due to high cyclic loads mainly caused by waves and changing loading conditions. Therefore, fatigue is an important criterion during design. The fatigue life is dependent upon factors such as global and local design, workmanship during construction, maintenance, corrosion protection, and trade and load history. Different approaches are applied to the fatigue strength assessment. Longitudinal stiffener end connections are also important structural elements …

Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Rubber Bellow Segment made of Hyper Elastic Material
Abstract: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is the interaction of a moveable and/or deformable structure that is immersed in a fluid and/or contains a fluid. Motion of the structure causes a change in the fluid’s stresses that act on the structure’s wetted surface, which in turn causes a change in the structure’s motion. The present research analyses the deformation produced in a hyper elastic rubber bellow segment due to the pressure generated by …

Numerical Modeling of Elastoviscoplastic Material Model in Strain Space
Abstract: Conventional material non-linear analysis works with stress-space plasticity. It uses yield function, loading-unloading criteria, and flow rule in terms of stress parameters. It shows ambiguity in loading-unloading criteria for softening materials. During such situations, an alternative strain-space formulation becomes quite useful to carry out analysis of such materials. The viscoplastic response of materials requires the time integration of system of non-linear first order differential equations. In viscoplasiticy, the constitutive equation …
