Product Safety Risk Assessment Approach to Sustainable Design
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors studied the risk characteristics of the offshore platform during the design stage and quantified the load on the offshore vessel under various working conditions, and calculated the strength.
Dynamics of tension leg platform tethers at low tension: part 2 - combined excitation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of combined excitation on the dynamics of tension leg platform (TLP) tethers at low tension and found that when the natural periods of tethers are equal or shorter than excitation periods, combined excitations becomes significant, since the dynamic operating conditions of most tethers correspond to higher order instability regions.

Mathieu Stability of Offshore Buoyant Leg Storage and Regasification Platform
TL;DR: In this article, a geometric form of buoyant leg storage and regasification platform (BLSRP) was developed for oil and gas industry, where six buoyant legs support the deck and are placed symmetric with respect to wave direction.

Tether response of offshore Triceratops under hurricane conditions
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the tether response of triceratops in 2400 m water-depth under hurricane conditions caused by 10-yr, 100-yr and 1000-yr Gulf of Mexico (GoM) storms.

Mathieu instability of a spar platform with mooring and risers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate damping effects and hull/mooring/riser coupled effects on the principal instability of a spar platform and show that the available damping is important in suppressing the instability.

Dynamics of tension leg platform tethers at low tension. Part I - Mathieu stability at large parameters
Minoo H. Patel,H.I. Park +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of tethers with reduced pre-tension to facilitate payload increase over conventional design of a TLP was investigated, and the results showed that even if tether is in a slack condition, the displacement amplitude of parametric oscillation is not large for some dimensions.
