A Flexible Riser Design Manual. Authors/Edited by: M H Patel, J A Witz and Z Tan. 03/1995. Flexible Riser Design Manual has been prepared as a reference book to bring together information on riser pipe construction, governing equations of riser global behaviour, stress analysis of the composite riser structure, fatigue considerations and in-service monitoring. The manual presents new research results on hydrostatic pressure and slug flow effects which have a considerable impact on flexible riser design. The manual can be used as a reference book or as a conversion and training aid for existing and new staff. The design procedures contained within the manual include FORTRAN-77 source codes of essential computer programs for calculating the static behaviour of a flexible riser, together with an estimate of its dynamic response and internal stresses in the armour layers and composite riser wall. The programs are fully documented and can be readily customised or extended to suit user needs. 310pp. Size A4 (290mm x 210mm). Paperback. ISBN 1 874612 17 X. $1015.00

Offshore Vessels Design Manual. Authors/Edited by: J A Witz and D T Brown. 04/1995. Offshore Vessel Design Manual brings together in a single source basic design data, theory, design procedures and the computer programs necessary to carry out preliminary design and evaluation of offshore semisubmersibles, monohulls and tensioned buoyant platforms. The manual can be used as a reference book or to assist in conversion and training of existing and new staff. The design procedures presented in the manual include FORTRAN-77 AND BASIC source codes of computer programs for calculation and preliminary optimisation of the hydrostatics, wave induced motions, structural loads and stresses for semisubmersibles, monohulls, and tensioned buoyant platforms. The programs are fully documented so that they can be customised and extended to suit user needs. 530pp. Size A4 (290mm x 210mm). Paperback. ISBN 1 874612 18 8. $1015.00

Catenary Moorings Design Manual. Authors/Edited by: D T Brown and G J Lyons. 03/1995. Catenary Moorings Design Manual form an essential element of floating offshore vessels carrying out drilling, production and related activities. Adequate design of such moorings is necessary both for low down-time due to riser disconnection and for remaining on station in survival waves. This Design Manual has been prepared as a single source of basic mooring line data, the equations governing environmental loading and catenary lines together with the design procedures and computer programs required to carry out preliminary design and evaluation of catenary moorings. The manual is also written to be a reference book or to assist in conversion and training of existing and new staff. 380pp. SizeA4 (290mm x 210mm). Paperback. ISBN 1 874612 19 6. $1015.00

Vertical Riser Design Manual. Authors/Edited by: G J Lyons, M H Patel and J A Witz. 03/1995. Vertical  marine risers have a long history of use in exploration drilling and well maintenance duties as well as being used more recently from floating production platforms. The design and evaluation of vertical marine risers for floating production is becoming more difficult due to the increasingly stringent demands of deep water, harsh weather environments and the multiple flow line paths required for efficient reservoir management. The Vertical Riser Design Manual provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use guide to the product information, structural analysis methods and design procedures required for preliminary design and detailed evaluation of vertical marine risers. In particular, the design procedures presented in the manual include FORTRAN-77 source codes of essential computer programs that can be used to calculate the static and quasi-structural behaviour and vortex shedding induced response of vertical marine risers. The programs are fully documented and simple to modify or extend to meet a user's specific needs. 280pp. Size A4 (290mm x 210mm). Paperback. ISBN 1 874612 20 X. $1015.00
