Description
The objective was to study the static and dynamic behavior of compliant risers including bending and torsion effects and to evaluate the effects of the principle parameters on the behavior of such systems. This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP) focusing on deriving analytic solutions for the linear dynamic response of compliant risers. This research program permitted the design engineers and regulatory agency staff to understand the effects of the principle variables and evaluate alternative concepts.
