Design, Testing and Analysis of a New Pipeline Recovery Tool
Eriksson, Nicolai Bull (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Pipeline Recovery Tools (PRT’s) are used in decommissioning and recovery of subsea pipelines. The PRT often use a mechanical system to insert and lock itself onto the subsea pipeline. This thesis examines a unique connection ... -
Dynamic Analysis of a Floating Fish Cage with Feeding Systems
Bruset, Mathias (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing industries in Norway, and one of the fastest growing food production industries in the world. Limited access to available locations along the coast is gradually forcing aquacultural ... -
Dynamic Analysis of a Vessel-shaped Fish Farm for Open Sea
Høiland, Andreas Vangdal (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)In recent years, aquaculture has been the fastest-growing animal food producing industry in the world. However, the absence of suitable production areas might potentially become the most limiting factor for future production ... -
Dynamic analysis of flexible gravity-based fish cages under accidental failures in the mooring system
Dewan, Pulkit (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)A growing population needs an increasing amount of high-protein and nutritious food. Having acknowledged that, there is a substantial increase in seafood production in the world today. Due to spatial and environmental ... -
Dynamic analysis of gravity based fish cage
Chang, Ying (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-06)With the development of economy and growth of population, we are constantly facing the challenge of decreasing fish population and increasing needs in the fish market. Aquaculture is a practical way to fulfill this demand. ... -
Feasibility study and dynamic analysis of floating vertical axis wind turbines in multi-applications
Wen, Ting Rui (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)In the past decades, the global wind energy has rapidly grown. Greater potential of wind recourses is explored in the deeper sea; hence, wind farms have progressively moved toward the deep water over the years. Floating ... -
Finite Element Models for Integrity Assessment of Flexible Riser with Damaged Tensile Wires
Haugen, Mathias O. M. (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Many of the flexible risers in service do not meet their documented service life. A common failure mode is the rupture of the abrasive external layer which, in itself, is not critical, but seawater ingress may corrode ... -
