Abstract:A numerical simulation and system identification approach to the dynamic equilibrium of a catenary riser has been developed. A finite DOF representation of the dominant dynamics is constructed using frequency domain identification by applying nonlinear signal theory techniques on response data series when exciting the structure with sinusoidal motions at the top. Data series are obtained through numerical integration of a finite differences simulation model on the basis of the six nonlinear partial differentia… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
