Finite-element modelling of multi-planar offshore tubular joints
Finite-element modelling of multi-planar offshore tubular joints
This paper describes the calibration and validation of a finite-element modelling procedure that was used to conduct an extensive parametric study on the strength of multi-planar tubular joints. Various factors that influenced results were investigated. The modelling procedure was calibrated using the International Organization for Standards (ISO) design equations and the underlying test database for compression and tension loaded simple T and Y joints, and was further validated with balanced loaded K joints. Overall, the proposed procedure has been shown to be adequate in predicting the strength of the basic joint types, thereby giving confidence in its use for more complex joints.

Abstract
This paper describes the calibration and validation of a finite-element modelling procedure that was used to conduct an extensive parametric study on the strength of multi-planar tubular joints. Various factors that influenced results were investigated. The modelling procedure was calibrated using the International Organization for Standards (ISO) design equations and the underlying test database for compression and tension loaded simple T and Y joints, and was further validated with balanced loaded K joints. Overall, the proposed procedure has been shown to be adequate in predicting the strength of the basic joint types, thereby giving confidence in its use for more complex joints.
