Bransen, M. (author)The term Leak-Before-Break (LBB) refers to a well-established safety criterion used to assess whether cracked tanks or pipes can leak detectable amounts of fluid as a warning before catastrophic failure occurs. In this research The LBB criterion was applied to the safety assessment of spherical Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) containment systems on...master thesis 2016

Meng, D. (author)This thesis presents a procedure to calculate fatigue damage in tubular connections based on the spectral fatigue analysis method. The critical joints can be detected and the contribution of each wave heading to the fatigue damage can be investigated. The procedure developed is applied to perform the fatigue assessment of Miller jacket.master thesis 2016

Köller, F. (author)During its expedition from 1872 to 1876, the HMS Challenger (see right) first proved the abundance of polymetallic nodules in the Pacific-, Indian- and Atlantic Oceans, giving rise to new interest in economic development of this resource. A century later, in 1976, the first successful pilot mining test for polymetallic nodule recovery was...master thesis 2016

Zoutewelle, R.W.L. (author)Yachts have significantly grown in number and size the past decades. The superyacht business has grown along and the number of superyacht builders has increased. In previous decades, potential customers were queuing for their superyacht to be build. The result was that yacht builders were able to set the price of a yacht. Nowadays there is much...master thesis 2016

Dirven, S.K.A. (author)The significant growth in offshore wind activities in boulder clay areas requires suitable cable protection solutions. It is desirable to create a trench prior installation of the cable in order to guarantee the target depth of burial. Modern equipment of available on the market can be refined in order to create a reduced footprint, both...master thesis 2016

Qin, Y. (author)Circular Hollow Section (CHS) are widely utilized as a structure element due to its excellent property of compression, tension, bending and torsion resistance as well as the less consumption of materials. However, the connection joint of the CHS is the place where we should pay attention because of the stress concentration effect, which may lead...master thesis 2016

Velner, T. (author)Naval vessels are designed to remain operational in severe conditions, sea-state 6 or higher, and have to maintain a minimum forward speed in these conditions. These seakeeping conditions may result in severe impact loads on the bow of the vessel, called slamming. Sonar domes are often used at naval vessels to detect objects under water and are...master thesis 2016

Den Haan, B.C. (author)In the last decades a lot of oil platforms have been built. According to Infield (Infield, 2015), there are over 800 oil platforms out in the ocean. These platforms need to be decommissioned at the end of their lifetime. The Pioneering Spirit (PS), is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose twin hull vessel with the capability to decommission and...master thesis 2016

De Bruyn, N. (author)In the design of mooring systems, it is a common practice to use a 100-year design environment to calculate extreme responses. Statistical inference is executed on the environmental data to produce a 100-year environment. This 100-year environment is then simulated to calculate the loads that occur when the vessel is under the influence of the...master thesis 2016

Bergsma, J.R. (author)Study to influence of non-linear wave effects on fatigue loads in a spar-type floating wind turbine (Hywind). Two studies are executed. One, a statistical analysis on suitable simulation duration and number of seeds required for accurate results. Two, a analysis of differences in fatigue loads due to linear versus non-linear waves.master thesis 2015

Poen, G.J. (author)The size and production capacity of Floating Production, Storage and Offloading units, or FPSOs, is ever growing. SBM Offshore specialized in converting existing oil tankers into FPSOs. One of the limitations they found was the available deck space for the topsides modules. A new concept was proposed to solve this problem: a twin hull FPSO, made...master thesis 2015

Calf, I.J. (author)The out-of-plane bending of offshore mooring chains leads to a rapid deterioration of the chain, ultimately leading to failure in a period that is a fraction of the design-life. The deformation of the contact surface of the chainlinks leads to the interlocking of the link. This in turn causes the chain to behave like a bending beam. The...master thesis 2015

Dam, M.A.C. (author)The design of a mooring system can be a frustrating and time consuming task, owing to the large number of design cases, software interfaces and sometimes changing requirements. Although frequency domain is a faster method, the behavior of the FPSO and the loads on the turret mooring system in a certain environment is most accurately predicted in...master thesis 2015
