Free Standing Hybrid Riser (FSHR) is comprised of vertical steel risers and Flexible Jumpers (FJ). They are jointly connected to a submerged Buoyancy Can (BC). There are several factors that have influence on the behavior of FSHR such as the span distance between an offshore platform and a foundation, BC up-lift force, BC submerged location and FJ length. An optimization method through a parametric study is presented. Firstly, descriptions for the overall arrangement and characteristics of FSHR are introduced. Secondly, a flowchart for optimization of FSHR is suggested. Following that, it is described how to select reasonable ranges for a parametric study and determine each of optimal configuration options. Lastly, numerical analysis based on this procedure is performed through a case study. In conclusion, the relation among those parameters is analyzed and non-dimensional parametric ranges on optimal arrangements are suggested. Additionally, strength analysis is performed with variation in the configuration.

In this paper, statistical approach is undertaken to investigate the classification of wear debris which is the key function of objective assessment of wear debris morphology. Wear tests are run to produce various kinds of wear debris. The images of wear debris from wear tests are captured with image acquisition equipment. By thresholding, two-dimensional binary images of wear debris are made and, then, morphological parameters are used to quantify the images of debris. Parametric and nonparametric discriminant method are employed to classify wear debris into predefined wear conditions. It is demonstrated that classification accuracy of parametric and nonparametric discriminant method is similar. The selected use of morphological parameters by stepwise discriminant analysis can generally improve the classification accuracy of parametric and nonparametric discriminant method.

In this paper, using proximal-point mappings technique of Raccretive mappings and the property of the fixed point set of set-valued contractive mappings, we study the behavior and sensitivity analysis of the solution set of the system of parametric generalized quasi-variational inclusions involving R-accretive mappings in real uniformly smooth Banach space. Further under suitable conditions, we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the solution set with respect to parameters. The technique and results presented in this paper can be viewed as extension of the techniques and corresponding results given in [3, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34].

In the paper, we consider two-dimensional warranty policy with failure times and repair times. The failure times are considered within the warranty period and the repair times are considered within the repair time limit. Under the renewable warranty policy and non-renewable warranty policy, we consider the number of warranty services in the censored area by warranty period and repair time limit to conduct warranty cost analysis. We investigate the field data to check their dependency and implement our proposed approaches to conduct warranty cost analysis using the parametric methods. Numerical examples are discussed to demonstrate the applicability of the methodologies and results based on the proposed approach in the paper.

The global stiffnesses and vibration characteristics of vehicle structures are mainly influenced by local stiffnesses of the joint structures consisted of complicated thin-walled panels. In this paper, the parametric study for the stiffnesses of the center pillar-roof rail joint of vehicle structure is performed through the linear static analysis. The analysis result shows that the reinforcement panel much affects the joint stiffness of out-plane direction (i.e., z-direction). And also, the flange radius and width of the joint structure much affect the Joint stiffness of out-plane direction. The study shows that vehicle joint stiffnesses can be effectively determined in designing vehicle structure through the parametric study.

We have developed a design/analysis tool for use with Mat lab whick is named as "Parametric Robust Control and Identification(PROCI)". The tool is composed of three parts: Part i) consists of the identification of the continuous time transfer function by using either time domain input-output data or frequency response data, which might be experimentally obtained. Part ii) is the CDM synthesis of classical controller such as PID, Lead/Lag compensators. In part iii), the analysis of robustness of overall system can be dealt with. This tool allows us to analyze completely most of robustness issues with respect to the interval uncertaintyncertainty

Combination of the parametric and the wavelet analyses of acoustic emission (AE) signals was applied to identify the failure modes in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates during tensile testing. AE signals detected by surface mounted lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors were analyzed by parametric analysis based on the time of occurrence which classifies AE signals corresponding to failure modes. The frequency band level-energy analysis can distinguish the dominant frequency band for each failure mode. It was observed that the same type of failure mechanism produced signals with different characteristics depending on the stacking sequences and the type of sensors. This indicates that the proposed method can identify the failure modes of the signals if the stacking sequences and the sensors used are known.

Through-the-thickness stress distribution in a tubular member has a profound effect on the fatigue behavior of tubular joints commonly found in steel offshore structures. This stress distribution can be characterized by the degree of bending (DoB). Although multi-planar joints are an intrinsic feature of offshore tubular structures and the multi-planarity usually has a considerable effect on the DoB values at the brace-to-chord intersection, few investigations have been reported on the DoB in multi-planar joints due to the complexity of the problem and high cost involved. In the present research, data extracted from the stress analysis of 243 finite element (FE) models, verified based on available parametric equations, was used to study the effects of geometrical parameters on the DoB values in two-planar tubular DYT-joints. Parametric FE study was followed by a set of nonlinear regression analyses to develop six new DoB parametric equations for the fatigue analysis and design of axially loaded two-planar DYT-joints.

This paper deals with the parametric analysis of electric and magnetic fields generated by lightning discharges. The measuring system consisted of the plate-type electric field and loop-type magnetic field sensor, the voltage follower, the active integrator and LabVIEW software. The parameters of the electric and magnetic field waveforms produced by intracloud lightning strokes were presented.
