MOBILE OFFSHORE BASE RESEARCH CHALLENGES Dr. Paul Palo U. S. Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures Norwegian University of Science and Technology 29 October 2004
Outline • Summary: ONR MOB S&T Program • Research Challenges
MOB HydromechanicsS&T Summary • Broad, balanced program addressing a range of S&T topics corresponding to MOB design • Driven by: USER! • operational, survival and transit aspects • wide range of MOB platform characteristics • ALL accompanying support information • Deliverables include: • preliminary and final analysis tools • pioneering hydroelastic models and data • wave excitation - structural loads interface • pioneering wave coherence information
MOB HydromechanicsS&T Technology Transfer • MOB Hydromechanics S&T is applicable to all large offshore vessels and structures • Commercial airports (cargo) • Remote military training airfields
MOB HydromechanicsS&T Summary • Key S&T Opportunities: • Analyze hydroelastic data! • Continue wave coherence studies • Complete Classification Guide • develop a technique that will apply viscous damping to VLFS structures with “small” modules
