... accurately simulate the dynamic response of subsea pipelines exposed to waves and steady current kinematics, and can be applied to optimise pipeline stabilisation requirements. This paper describes the use of state-of-the-art transient dynamic finite elements analysis techniques to analyse pipeline dynamic...

... pipeline stabilisation can be a major cost driver, leading to complex and costly stabilisation solutions. In these circumstances, the designer is likely to consider more refined methods in which the pipeline is allowed to displace under extreme conditions. This paper discusses various design approaches...
