... element analyses combined with a bounding-surface plasticity constitutive model are performed to investigate systematically the keying behavior of GIAs in sand. A series of analytical cases involving multiple factors are designed and analyzed to explore the effects of various factors on the keying...

...J. S. Damgaard; J. White; M. Worsley Physical model tests have been performed with the aim of investigating the pull-in loads required to move a jumper assembly across the seabed. A total of 41 tests were completed with various assembly configurations, using two different types of sediment: sand...
