WAVE TESTS AND NONLINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSIS FOR ESTIMATION OF HYDRODYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS FOR OFFSHORE JACKET PLATFORMS

Adaptations in the design and reliability analysis of jacket platforms are gaining importance in the economical perspective, due to the discovery ofnew shallow water oil fields and aging of existing oil and gas assets. This research is focused on improving the design of offshore jacket platforms...
