(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The use of multirotor drones for industrial applications is accelerating, and fuel cell based propulsion systems are highlighted as a promising approach to improve endurance – one of the current main limitations. Due to ... -
Sensitivity to hydrogen induced cracking, and corrosion performance of an API X65 pipeline steel in H2S containing environment: influence of heat treatment and its subsequent microstructural changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)In this investigation, the effect of microstructural changes and phase equilibria on corrosion behavior and hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) sensitivity of an API X65 pipeline steel was studied. For this purpose, heat ... -
Service and inventory model for maintenance workshop in the short cycle operation region: Agent-based simulation approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tools used in the North Sea region has a high cycle and come very often to maintenance workshop to be checked, repaired if needed and prepared for the next operations. The availability of spare parts at the workshop plays ... -
Servitization: A Model for the Transformation of Products into Services through a Utility-Driven Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12)The economies of the industrialized world have become dominated by services. Many manufacturing companies have changed from producing products to providing services. However, many companies still lag behind in this ... -
Severe slugging phenomenon and a novel method for its mitigation based on the Surface Jet Pump technology
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-29)The present thesis is focused on the problem of severe slugging and ways to mitigate it. Severe slugging is an oscillatory multiphase flow regime characterized by high variations in production rates occurring in offshore ... -
Shared Spare Parts Management in Offshore Remote Locations: A Model to Improve Logistics and Reduce Carbon Emissions.
(Master thesis, 2023)The management of spare parts poses significant challenges, particularly in offshore remote locations. The combination of the remoteness of these locations and harsh environmental conditions adds complexity to the process ... -
Ship anchor interference with offshore pipelines
(Master thesis, 2014-06-13)The main purpose of this thesis was to identify and study important parameters related to hooking incidents. Criteria of local buckling in DNV-OS-F101 were used to judge the results of FE analysis acceptable or not. In ... -
Shipping Container Impact with Bridge Girders
(Master thesis, 2021)Aluminium bridge decks have been proposed as alternatives to traditional steel bridge decks. These girders can meet all design criteria for bridges and have the advantages of low density and high corrosion resistance. ... -
Short-Crested Wave–Current Forces on a Concentric System with an ARC Exterior Porous Wall
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03)In this study, the potential flow theory is adopted to develop an analytical solution to the diffraction problem of a short-crested wave–current incident on a concentric system consisted of an arc exterior wall and interior ... -
Simulated wind-generated inertial oscillations compared to current measurements in the northern North Sea
(Journal article, 2018-06)Measured current speed data show that episodes of wind-generated inertial oscillations dominate the current conditions in parts of the northern North Sea. In order to acquire current data of sufficient duration for robust ... -
Simulation Model of Hybrid Energy Production and Consumption for Passive House Concept: A Case Study: “MyBox Student House” in University of Stavanger (UIS) Campus
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)It was believed in that the level of the consumed energy was a proof for each country to show the technical, economic and social development indicator for many years in the past. Unfortunately ... -
Simulation of peak tension loads in Subsea power cables during installation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11)At present, most of the insurance claims in the offshore wind industry are due to cable failures where a large percentage occurs during the installation of the array and export cables. As the reliability of the cables ... -
Simulation of S-Shaped Airfoil for a Bidirectional Tidal Stream Turbine
(Master thesis, 2022)The energy supplies in the world mostly rely on fossil fuels which are responsible for increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming by releasing carbon emissions. As global warming is a serious issue for both ... -
