Oil tanker under ice loadings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As a result of global warming, the area of the polar pack ice is diminishing, making merchant travel more practical. Even if Arctic ice thickness reduced in the summer, fractured ice is still presenting operational risks ... -
Novel methods for coupled prediction of extreme wind speeds and wave heights
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Two novel methods are being outlined that, when combined, can be used for spatiotemporal analysis of wind speeds and wave heights, thus contributing to global climate studies. First, the authors provide a unique reliability ... -
Design and Dynamic Analysis of a Novel Subsea Shuttle Tanker
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Underwater pipelines, tanker ships, and liquefied gas carriers have traditionally been employed to transport hydrocarbons between offshore oil and gas facilities and onshore locations. However, both methods come with ... -
Offloading operation bivariate extreme response statistics for FPSO vessel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO) is an offshore unit producing and storing crude oil prior to tanker transport. An important design concern is an accurate prediction of risky dynamic hawser tensions ... -
Effect of Interference Size on Contact Pressure Distribution of Railway Wheel Axle Press Fitting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Mechanical couplings in engineering usually use interference fits to connect the shaft and hub. A railway wheel axle is a press fit that is connected by interference and can be subjected to bending stress. In loaded press ... -
Use of circular economy practices during the renovation of old buildings in developing countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The construction industry is responsible for over 30% of global natural resource extraction and 25% of solid waste production, primarily due to its prevalent "take, make, dispose" economic model. Shifting toward a circular ... -
Experimental Investigation on Effect of Weight Fraction of Sisal Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Sisal-E-Glass Hybrid Polymer Composites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Currently, hybridizing natural fibers with synthetic fiber is considered as the best solution for reducing the environmental pollution and the cost of materials. This is due to the lower mechanical properties and high water ... -
Virtual skeleton methodology for athlete posture modification in CFD simulations
