Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a flexible structure is a hydro-elasticity phenomenon. In current VIV design of marine tubular, the effect of structural stiffness variations is not fully accounted for. A new design procedure for the VIV motions of the first mode is presented in this paper. Numerical examples indicate that this new method may provide a safer design.
