Fatigue failure caused by frequent tension and bending loads is a crucial safety concern for mooring chains used on floating structures in the oil and gas industry. The bending effect for a chain?s fatigue is usually not considered by existing fatigue an...

Traditionally, subsea pipelines designed for the transportation of oil, gas, and water are constructed using carbon steel due to its strength, toughness, and ability to operate at temperatures up to 427 °C. However, polyethylene (PE), especially its high...

Sand waves are commonly formed on the sandy seabed of the continental shelf and characterized by their regular wave-like shape. When a submarine pipeline is laid on this type of seabed, it often experiences free spans due to the unevenness of the seabed....

Submarine pipelines are widely adopted around the world for transporting oil and gas from offshore fields. They tend to be severely ruined by the extreme waves induced by the natural disaster, such as hurricanes and tsunamis. To maintain the safety and f...

At present, dry wellheads are usually adopted on small-storage TLP and SPAR platforms to develop offshore oil and gas because of the robust hydrodynamic performance under severe-wind seas. On the other hand, FPSO and FDPSO platforms that have a larger st...
