Offshore semi-submersible platform engineering / Srinivasan Chandrasekaran. - First edition. - 1 online resource : illustrations (colour)

Offshore Semi-Submersible Platform Engineering presents a primer on the analysis and design of semi-submersible platforms, in particular, while also covering general analysis and design guidelines of offshore compliant platforms. It introduces general structural designs and also examines the details of the various environmental impacts that act upon them, such as fatigue, fire, collisions, and water waves. Features Provides thorough coverage of the dynamic analysis and design of semi-submersible platforms Assists readers through detailed analysis methods using MATLAB as well as other computer programs used to carry out structural analysis Explains impact loading and dynamic response through numerical analysis and examines the various factors that affect semi-submersibles Presented in a coursework teaching style, the content is explained in a step-by-step manner using color figures, photos, screen shots, and illustrations, thereby enabling students, researchers, and practicing engineers to carry out analysis with ease Offshore Semi-Submersible Platform Engineering serves as a practical guide for upper-level students and graduates of various engineering disciplines, for example, naval architecture, and structural, mechanical, pipeline, and offshore engineering. Further, it can also be used as a reference for practicing professionals, as the book covers a broad range of scholarships and applications.
