Intermodule Connector Technology for Mobile Offshore Base Structures

Abstract

The objectives for the work under this grant continue to be: (1) Determination of design requirements for Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) connectors and development of accurate, reliable predictions of connector performance; (2) Further development of concepts for flexible intermodule connectors and evaluation using computational modeling; and (3) Proof of concept for selected configurations through fabrication and scale model testing of most promising connector concepts.
