Abstract:
There are many multiplanar tubular joints in offshore structures. The stressanalvsis of these joints is far from being solved with satisfaction due to the complexity ingeonietry and ioad cases.A semi-analytical (analytic-numerical) method for stress analysis ofmultiplanar tubular joints subjected to any loads is presented in this paper. Some advantagesof the computer program compiled based on semi-analytical method are discussed. Twonumerical examples and comparison of the computed results with that by expe...
