Fatigue analysis of subsea Jumper under external loads (steady current and earthquake)

In recent times, the oil and gas business has moved into unconventional reservoirs, especially in deep-water. One high-potential prospect was found in the deep-water area of Myanmar. A subsea production system pilot project is planned for implementation in this area. One essential element of a subsea system is a “subsea jumper”. The main...

State-of-the-art design methods for wind turbine towers

The costs of wind energy have to be reduced in order to be competitive with conventional methods to generate electricity. The tower costs contribute significantly to the costs of a wind turbine. This thesis aimed to suggest improvements in wind turbine tower design in comparison with industry standards nowadays in order to reduce the costs of...
