FPSO Offshore Design
(OP)
In the equation of motion using simple harmonic motion for FPSO application, why is it that the phase difference with reference signal (wave) is being neglected?
The equation is given as:
Z(t)= z.sin(w.t+ez) [m or inch}
z= heave amplitude (m or inch)
t= time (sec)
ez= phase difference with reference signal (wave) [rad]
w=angular velocity (2pi/t) [rad/sec]
The equation is given as:
Z(t)= z.sin(w.t+ez) [m or inch}
z= heave amplitude (m or inch)
t= time (sec)
ez= phase difference with reference signal (wave) [rad]
w=angular velocity (2pi/t) [rad/sec]





RE: FPSO Offshore Design
Where did you find the equation???I am keen to know as I might be starting on an FPSO pipe stress analysis job soon.
