• Analysis of S–N data for new and corroded mooring chains at varying mean load levels using a hierarchical linear model 

      Lone, Erling Neerland; Maincon, Philippe Emmanuel; Gabrielsen, Øystein; Sauder, Thomas Michel; Larsen, Kjell; Leira, Bernt Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Results from full scale fatigue tests of offshore mooring chains are analyzed. The data set includes new and used chains, tested at a variety of mean load levels. The used chains have been retrieved after operation offshore ...
    • EspyInsideFunction.jl-extracting intermediate results from numerical functions 

      Maincon, Philippe Emmanuel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      EspyInsideFunction allows to write software in the Julia programming language Julia (2017) [1] to make the value of variables within a function’s local scope — variables that are neither arguments nor return values, available ...
    • Estimation of top tensions in mooring lines by sensor fusion 

      Sauder, Thomas Michel; Maincon, Philippe Emmanuel; Lone, Erling Neerland; Leira, Bernt Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The paper describes a sensor fusion method that provides reliable, uninterrupted and bias-free estimates of the top tension in a mooring line. The method exploits the geometric nonlinearity of mooring systems installed in ...
    • Torsion in Flexible Pipes, Umbilicals and Cables Under Loadout to Installation Vessels 

      Maincon, Philippe Emmanuel (ASME Digital colletion;OMAE2017-62716, Chapter, 2017)
      Operations where a flexible pipe, umbilical or cable is loaded out from an on-shore spool to the hold of an installation vessel can cause a build-up of torsion. In unfavourable cases, the torsion has been known to cause ...
