OFFSHORE FLEXIBLE HOSES

Objective

Planning of offshore hose through the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) , reducing the experimentation time and optimising the structure for the single application.
The three dimensional FEA method for model examination was successfully worked out. The tank for dynamic tests was used with good results. At the end of this period of research we unfortunately have to conclude that the success of the work undertaken has only been pastial and the goals set have not been reached in the period of time established.
Difficulties were encountered during calibration of measuremtntent system and in the interpretation of strain valves.
Results obtained up to now are, however, of great interest and we see possibilities of applying some of the structural modifications suggested by our tests to the produced material. The studies will be continued outside this research contract.
1. Design and construction of a test tank for experimental models
. 2. Preparation of some structures in 1/3 scale in respect to full size scale.
3. Static and dynamic tets on models with collection of data on behaviour.
4. Realization of a mathematical model for the various structures
. 5. Simulation of tests mentioned under point 3.
6. Comparison between experimental data and calculation results .
7. Improvement of the mathematical model through iteration of points 3-4-5-6.
8. Extrapolation of 1/3 model to full size through realisation of a prototpype.
9. Practical test of the prototype.
10. Final adjustment of the mathematical model to be used for new projects.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
