Prediction of the ultimate behaviour of tubular joints in offshore jacket structures using nonlinear finite element methods
Tubular joints are of great importance in offshore jacket structures. This thesis examines the ultimate state behaviour of tubular joints in offshore structures. In particular, the validity of a nonlinear finite element method was investigated and it was subsequently used to determine the ultimate l...
