... water pipeline installations by S-lay present many challenges, especially in the overbend section. The S-lay requires a long curved and stiff stinger to support the pipeline weight. The interaction between the overbend pipe and stinger is complicated such that the numerical structure analysis could...

...Feng Yuan; Zhen Guo; Lingling Li; Lizhong Wang The S-lay method has been widely used in pipeline installation from shallow water to deep water for decades. In this paper, a novel numerical model for analyzing pipelines in the S-lay problem is proposed to investigate the overall configuration...
