A parametric study of the non-linear dynamic behaviour of an offshore jack-up unit
The dynamic response of an offshore jack-up unit to environmental loads has been investigated using a two-dimensional, nonlinear finite element model. The model includes realistic representations of the wave loading, the geometric non-linearities of the rig legs and the complex non-linear effects of...
