| Title: |
Stability of Tubes Under External Pressure and Structural Loads. |
| Sponsor: |
Shell Oil Company, Houston, Texas, USA |
| Partners: |
The University of Texas at Austin, USA |
| Objective: |
The research aimed at investigating the ultimate capacity of ring-stiffened tubular members, candidates for deep offshore applications (600 - 1000 meters, compliant towers). A nonlinear finite element computer program was developed for predicting the ultimate load under combined-load conditions (bending, axial compression, external pressure). |
