A Coupled, Global/Local Finite Element Methodology to Evaluate the Fatigue Life of Flexible Risers Attached to Floating Platforms for Deepwater Offshore Oil Production

This study introduces a Finite Element (FE) hybrid methodology for analyzing deepwater offshore oil and gas floating production systems. In these systems, flexible risers convey the production and are connected to a balcony on one side of the platform. The proposed methodology couples, in a cost-eff...
