Load sequence effects and mixed-mode fatigue crack growth in offshore structures
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2019-12)An increasing number of the offshore structures in the North Sea are being operated in a life extension phase, which means that their original design life has been exceeded. As the structures age, they are deteriorating, ... -
Local joint flexibility of tubular offshore joints with eccentric brace to chord connections
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-30)Local joint flexibility of tubular offshore joints has been researched to be able to account for correct deflection and redistribution of member forces and moments. This has shown to improve design life prediction for ... -
Long term analyses of wave characteristics
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The focus in this master’s thesis was to describe and compare the two long-term analysis methods: All Sea States and Peak-Over-Threshold. Both methods are equitable and commonly approved methods to estimate extreme waves. ... -
Long Term Response Analyses of a Jacket Structure with Focus on a Peak Over Threshold Approach
(Master thesis, 2022)This thesis investigates the use of long term analysis to estimate the q-probability responses of a non-linear problem. The structure subjected to the investigations is a realistic jacket found in the Norwegian Continental ... -
Long-term response of a curved floating bridge to inhomogeneous wind fields
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07)A numerical model of a 5 km long curved floating bridge, planned for the Bjørnafjord, in Norway, is subjected to strong wind events with stationary mean properties that vary along the bridge axis. A Weather Research and ... -
Loss of Integrity on Mooring Lines – Causes and Consequences
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-16)In the history of offshore industry, position keeping has been an essential part for allowing operations to be performed, and production to be maintained. This is often done by connecting mooring lines between the vessel ... -
Low cost deep water wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)A major cost-factor of drilling deep water wells today is associated with the high day rates of the larger rigs capable of drilling in such depths. Most subsea completions today are based on the 18-3/4” wellheads system. ... -
Low temperature thermomechanical treatment of corrosion resistant alloys
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Wear deteriorates materials and are a widespread problem in many areas of industry. To some extent, all physical materials experience wear in one form or another by moving gas, particles, fluids or a combination of these ... -
Luftinnføring i betong med Portland-flygeaske sementer – innvirkning av sementegenskaper
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2015;, Master thesis, 2016-01-15)For å lage en frostbestandig betong tilsettes luftinnførende stoff. Dette danner et finfordelt luftporesystem som kan ta hånd om volumøkningen til vannet når det fryser. Å oppnå kravene til luftinnhold kan være krevende. ... -
Luftinnføring i betong med Portland-flygeaske sementer: Karboninnhold i- og behandling av flygeaske
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)Ved produksjon av betong for utvendige værutsatte konstruksjoner er frostbestandighet viktig. Å oppnå kravene til frostbestandig luftinnhold er ikke alltid så enkelt bl.a. fordi luftinnføring kan være følsomt overfor selv ... -
