In the design of floating systems, three major system components need special attention: the floater, the mooring system, and the riser system. This paper will focus on one the most unique areas in the structural design of these components, namely, the fluid-induced effects on floating structure systems and the associated structural response. Due to the rapid growth in the offshore field, parti...

The deepwater drilling riser is a very important and vulnerable connection between an offshore platform subsea wellhead. Under some certain complex marine environment operating conditions, the may drift beyond safe limitations or be driven away rapidly. In order to protect safety of platform, personnel equipment, it necessary implement emergency disconnection riser. Since stretched under normal...
