Previous pageNext page

The geometric and hydrodynamic properties of the Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) are shown below in the table below. The LMRP is essentially a large mass connected to the end of the riser. The stresses within the LMRP are not of interest in the analysis, rather the effect that its weight has on the rest of the riser.
