OSTI ID:128899
As the offshore hydrocarbon industry advances into deeper waters and more hostile environments, the use of bend stiffeners with flexible riser systems becomes increasingly essential. This paper reviews the state of the art in bend stiffener materials and manufacture. Customized software for the iterative design of bend stiffeners based on an equivalent beam bending model is described and illustrated. Detailed finite element models in two and three-dimensions are used to validate the operation of this software. Excellent correlation is reported between these detailed models and the equivalent beam design approach.
