The project made provision for 32 platform-drilled wells arranged in an oval pattern within the footprint of the TLP[2.21]. A unique mooring system was used to move the drilling rig, which is fixed on the deck directly above each well. Once completed, the wells were connected to the deck...
A reinforced Teflon layer is inserted between the specimen and the clamp to eliminate the effects of friction, while a silicon piece is used between the tip of the specimen holder and the clamp to prevent the specimen from buckling. The strain distribution is measured using an optical ...
A pair of blocks of 8 kg and 10 kg, as shown below are connected by a rope that passes over a frictionless peg, and slides on an inclined plane without friction. Find the tension in the string A 57.5 kg box is pulled by a rope mak...
In the present paper, the effects of a central straight crack on the buckling collapse of rectangular elastic thin-plates—characterized by different boundary conditions, crack length and orientation—under compression, tension or shear loading are analysed. Accurate FE numerical parametric analyses have...
Answer to: An 840lb force acts on the end of the 10-ft boom. Determine the tension in each cable and the reaction forces at the ball-and-socket...
One will understand that with the tensioning device according to the present invention the thread, which, during its movement into contact with the wheels, causes the wheels -- idling on their support -- to revolve, only undergoes an action of rolling friction, and not of sliding friction, th...
In an embodiment, said shoe supports are mounted on respective ball-and-socket joints enabling said supports to pivot and preferably constituted by laminated abutments of spherical type. In an advantageous embodiment, said friction shoe is not disposed symmetrically about the plane perpendicular to the...
μ=coefficient of friction. For the normal case of grout at the surface of the pedestal,μ=0.55. Vf=frictional resisting force (factored) To have no shear load on the bolts: (3.21) where Vu=factored shear load at the base of the vessel, calculated using load factors in load combinations...
the pre-tension method was applied without limiting the post-tension method to induce a reduction in self-weight and in the materials used because of the decrease in the cross section. In addition, the authors proposed an application of an on-site pre-tensioning method using the internal reacti...
Low sea level friction contributes to prolonging the life of wind turbines [2]. At present, the research on offshore floating wind turbines has been regarded as a new trend in energy utilization and exploitation [3]. Considering various foundation styles, three types of offshore floating wind ...
