Spar platforms. Technology and analysis methods/Лонжеронные платформы. Технология и методы анализа

Издание на английском языке
The book is a monograph on the technology and analysis of spar platforms, prepared at the initiative of the ASCE Committee on Oceanic and Offshore Engineering. It contains the work of experts from academia and industry covering the history of the development of spar technologies, the design of anchoring systems and methods for analyzing the movements of spar platforms. Both traditional methods and modern approaches to solving problems such as vortex induction and motion control are considered. The book also includes field test data and comparative analysis with numerical models, emphasizing the importance of further research to solve existing technical problems. It is intended for engineers, researchers and students who want to gain a deeper understanding of SPAR technologies and their application in the offshore industry.
