Texte intégralRésumé :
JC Construction Corporation (JCCC) is a privately held corporation with 10 shareholders, who are all members of the Carpenter family. The company was founded by Joe Carpenter in the late 1990s. The companys projects involve mostly comparatively small commercial building construction, such as restaurants and smaller-scale stores. JCCC specializes in renovation and restoration projects rather than new construction, but does occasionally take on some new construction projects. The company does not build or renovate single family homes. JCCC is located in Minnesota, near the Minneapolis/St. Paul area where remodeling contractors are in high demand.

Simões, Mariana Roberta Lopes, Adelaide De Mattia Rocha et Carla Souza. « Factors associated with absenteeism-illness in rural workers in a timber company ». Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem 20, no 4 (août 2012) : 718–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s0104-11692012000400012.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The monitoring of absenteeism-illness has revealed its high prevalence, and a strong relationship with work. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with absenteeism-illness among the rural workers in a timber company in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is an analytical cross-sectional study, carried out among 883 workers. The medical certificates issued in the company over one year were surveyed. For the analysis, use was made of descriptive statistics and bi- and multivariable analyses. The strength of association was measured by the odds ratio (OR) with help from logistic regression (p<0.05). A prevalence of 54% of medical certificates was found in the population. Bivariate analysis revealed an association between job (forestry assistant (OR=13.1), carpenter (OR=15) and chainsaw operator (OR=39.6)), length of service in the company, departments and length of schooling with absenteeism-illness. In the multi-variate analysis, the association between length of schooling and being a carpenter disappeared, while the other associations remained. It is concluded that there is important evidence about the occupational and demographic factors and absenteeism-illness among forestry workers.

Humphris, Adrian, et Geoff Mew. « Carpenter, Artisan, Architect ; Status In Late Nineteenth Century Wellington ». Architectural History Aotearoa 4 (31 octobre 2007) : 28–33. http://dx.doi.org/10.26686/aha.v4i0.6737.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The distinction between a minor professional architect and a leading builder in Wellington was considerably more blurred in the late nineteenth century than it would be today. However, busy architects could make a lot of money and the term "architect" carried status that might open more doors than would be available to a mere builder. Late nineteenth century Wellington is now apparently only represented by a handful of buildings by prominent architects. Most people automatically think of the CBD and names like Thomas Turnbull & Son, William Chatfield, Frederick de Jersey Clere, John Campbell and perhaps William Crichton. Clayton, Toxward and Tringham were dead or almost gone, and new generation architects were barely emerging. We contend, however, that this picture is an oversimplification and considerably more of 1890s Wellington remains, as does the evidence for a much longer roll-call of architects, some of whom practised on the fringes, both of the city and of their profession. The architects we discuss here did not generally design large, flamboyant buildings, nor did they cater for rich company clients. Many of the lesser-known architects were particularly susceptible to boom-bust cycles and were forced to seek other employment in lean times - hence their rapid arrivals and departures from the trade listings in the directories of these years

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Introduction Post-mortem recognition of occupational diseases is a crucial step aimed at establishing a link between a disease contracted by an individual and their work environment. It is essential for safeguarding the rights of the deceased and their family. The objective of the presented case study is to examine the post-mortem recognition of nasopharyngeal cancer in a carpenter, linked to their occupational exposure to formaldehyde. Materials and Methods Tripartite medical expertise was conducted by the occupational health service at Ibn Rochd University Hospital, following a request from the Casablanca court of first instance. Results The plaintiff, aged 51, worked as a carpenter for seven years in a company engaged in wood treatment and furniture design. Their exposure to wood dust and formaldehyde was reasonably considered to be the cause of nasopharyngeal cancer, resulting in a permanent physical disability of 70%. After the worker’s death, an evaluation of compensation for their beneficiaries was conducted. Discussion Formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2004. The causal relationship between the activity of varnishing wooden furniture and nasopharyngeal cancer is firmly established and is listed in the Moroccan Table of compensable occupational diseases, No. 1.2.8bis. Conclusion Compensation for the beneficiaries is essential to support families of workers who have died from occupational diseases. However, implementing preventive measures in the workplace is equally critical to protect the health of workers and prevent such cases in the future.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The largely literate African employees of European businesses during the colonial and postcolonial period have not been studied as a group, unlike miners, railway workers and colonial intermediaries. This group has nevertheless been of great importance. Many of its members became part of the core of the management of African-owned enterprises and organizations, others started their own businesses or became successful politicians. African employees of European business, alongside government employees, formed the basis of the rapidly growing middle classes during the period after the Second World War. They gave their children a Western-style education, often at well-respected schools. In many local communities the “manager” became a figure of respect. Many employees were elected to traditional office as chiefs. Such successes were not limited to those employees who made it into management. For example, a carpenter with a steady career with a European company could build and own several houses. These African employees domesticated capitalism in West Africa, mediated changes in consumption and the rise of a consumer society, and adopted European expectations of career progression and life cycle. Working for a European business, they also found themselves at important sites of contestation during colonial and postcolonial political struggles.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Anglican Bishop William Carpenter Bompas and Archdeacon Robert McDonald spent nearly forty years in the far American north ‘spreading the word’ to Indigenous peoples living along the Yukon River in the second half of the nineteenth century. This article investigates their work primarily among the Gwichyà Gwich’in from their arrival in the 1860s to the mid-1870s when the 141st meridian west was established, creating an international border between Alaska and the Yukon, the United States and British America. The border’s creation had enormous implications for the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Yukon (Gwichyaa Zheh) because it was discovered to be west of the international boundary in Alaska and was moved further east into today’s Yukon Territories. The border forced Indigenous people to pick a side, American or British, and tested loyalties to their minister. The ‘spiritual borderland’ thus offers a window into the lives and ministries of two important northern missionaries during the initial contact period, as well as assessing their successes and failures among northern peoples.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 201417, “Reservoir Characterization and Geostatistical Model of the Cretaceous and Cambrian-Ordovician Reservoir Intervals, Meghil Field, Sirte Basin, Libya,” by Mohamed Masoud, Sirte Oil Company; W. Scott Meddaugh, SPE, Midwestern State University; and Masud Eljaroshi Masud, Sirte Oil Company, prepared for the 2020 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, originally scheduled to be held in Denver, Colorado, 5–7 October. The paper has not been peer reviewed. The study outlined in the complete paper focuses on developing models of the Upper Cretaceous Waha carbonate and Bahi sandstone reservoirs and the Cambrian-Ordovician Gargaf sandstone reservoir in the Meghil field, Sirte Basin, Libya. The objective of this study is to develop a representative geostatistically based 3D model that preserves geological elements and eliminates uncertainty of reservoir properties and volumetric estimates. This study demonstrates the potential for significant additional hydrocarbon production from the Meghil field and the effect of heterogeneity on well placement and spacing. Introduction The reservoir of interest consists of three stratigraphic layers of different ages: the Waha and Bahi Formations and the Gargaf Group intersecting the Meghil field. The Waha reservoir is a porous limestone that forms a single reservoir with underlying Upper Cretaceous Bahi sandstone and Cambro-Ordovician Gargaf Group quartzitic sandstone. The Waha provides excel-lent reservoir characteristics. The Bahi has fair to good reservoir characteristics, while the Gargaf Group has very poor reservoir quality. The Waha and Bahi contain significant amounts of hydrocarbons. The Bahi is composed of erratically distributed detritus from the eroded Gargaf Group. The characteristic of the Gargaf sediments is quartzitic sandstones indurate to a quartzite with low reservoir quality.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 203422, “Benchmarking of Ultimate Recovery Factor Across Kuwait: Unlocking Additional Potential,” by Mohammad Al-Ghanemi, Prashant Dhote, SPE, and Anup Bora, Kuwait Oil Company, et al., prepared for the 2020 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, Abu Dhabi, held virtually 9–12 November. The paper has not been peer reviewed. A countrywide benchmarking of ultimate recovery factor (URF) for oil reservoirs in Kuwait is presented in the complete paper. The results of this study have been useful in supporting identification of long-term opportunities for the operator and have influenced the creation of conceptual development plans for newly discovered prospects. The study focused on the reservoir complexity index (RCI) method and global analogs to identify development opportunities and improvements to the URF in the brown and green fields of Kuwait. Approach to Reservoir Benchmarking The recovery factor of a reservoir is a function of reservoir characteristics such as structural compartmentalization, depositional continuity, reservoir net-to-gross, permeability, fluid type, pressure, and field-development choices such as recovery process, well-completion type, and well spacing. Therefore, to benchmark reservoir performance appropriately, it is important to consider those factors relevant to the reservoir being studied. Additionally, limited value exists in using an analog with the “correct” reservoir geology and fluid properties if the development scheme is not also considered. The study provides an objective procedure to measure the uncertainty in reservoir complexity and characterization. It also identifies and documents appropriate analog data derived from internal company and commercial third-party databases. Selection of Analog Reservoirs - The process for gathering appropriate analog reservoirs does not seek to identify a single perfect analog. Instead, it aims to analyze key reservoir characteristics and field-development methods to identify groups of analogs, which in aggregate can represent a reasonable comparison with a study reservoir. The philosophy is to select a range of analog reservoirs based on the key parameters that influence URF.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Synopsis After three years in business together, Des Carpenter and Kees Schaddelee had a decision to make – should they double the size of their location, based on the opportunities and competitive threats they perceived? The startup phase took longer than expected and access to distribution channels was more difficult than expected. Nonetheless, the business gained traction with online sales that proved the concept of custom-made counters using EnvironiteTM technology was viable. As they prepared to expand the business, the owner-managers needed to decide on a growth strategy that would let them leverage their strengths. In analyzing their successes so far, they needed to evaluate their business model including their product line, target markets, marketing strategy (including the pricing strategy, product lines, and channels of distribution) and operations. Research methodology Data were collected through interviews with business owners and a review of company documents, production processes and the company website. Relevant courses and levels This case exercise will suit strategy and entrepreneurship students at both the senior undergraduate level and graduate level. The case discussion will ask students to consider operations, supply chain management, marketing and other issues, all through the lens of a holistic vision for the company. This case may be taught as an example of a growth strategy or a business model in a capstone business strategy course or higher level entrepreneurship course. It is appropriate for both undergraduate seniors and graduate students. Theoretical bases This case may be taught as an example of a growth strategy or a business model in a capstone business strategy course or higher-level entrepreneurship course. The case may be used to help students understand external and internal analysis, identifying the sources of value creation and competitive advantage, and creating an appropriate strategy for growth. It provides a rich context to discuss and apply the following conceptual tools: the application of a value chain analysis and the application of a business model canvas (key partners, key activities, key resources, value propositions, customer relationships, distribution channels, customer segments, cost structure and revenue streams). The case may also be used to reinforce the applications of growth phases in a young firm that are part of the entrepreneurial setting, for example, value proposition, ideal customer, revenue streams and key performance indicators.

Carpenter, Chris. « Study Reviews Recent Polymerflooding Advances in China ». Journal of Petroleum Technology 74, no 06 (1 juin 2022) : 90–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/0622-0090-jpt.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 200084, “Recent Advances of Polymerflooding in China,” by Hu Guo and Kaoping Song, China University of Petroleum, and Yuming Wang, Daqing Oilfield Company, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Polymerflooding is one of the more promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques that features high incremental oil recovery factor, low cost, and wide reservoir applicability. This paper helps clarify ideas regarding polymerflooding implementation based on theory and practice in China. Introduction Laboratory studies aimed at increasing understanding of polymerflooding involve criteria for matching polymer with porous media, the polymer viscoelasticity effect on residual oil saturation (ROS), and displacement efficiency and synthesis of new polymers with better viscosifying capacity compared with typical partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). The plugging of injectors in many oil fields is becoming increasingly common in many commercial blocks. This problem is especially serious for high-concentration polymer-injection blocks in fields such as Daqing, Xinjiang, and Henan. Understanding this phenomenon involves aligning the polymer and porous-media parameters such as permeability and pore size. Actual reservoir pressure distribution also must be considered. Because modern chemical EOR is based on ultralow interfacial tension (IFT) and minimum mobility ratio theory, the idea of combining the benefits of reducing IFT and increasing displacing-phase viscosity leads to a synthesis of amphiphilic polymers, which have features of both polymers and surfactants. This new type of polymer is sometimes called polymeric surfactant in China.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Born in Philadelphia in 1905, Catherine Littlefield first learns dancing from her mother, Caroline (called Mommie), who was an expert pianist, and from a local dancing master, C. Ellwood Carpenter. As a teenager, Catherine becomes a Ziegfeld dancer and takes lessons from Luigi Albertieri in New York. She returns home in 1925 to help Mommie teach at the Littlefield School (among her students is Zelda Fitzgerald) and stage dances for women’s musical clubs and opera companies. William Goldman hires Catherine to produce routines in commercial theaters throughout Philadelphia and becomes her boyfriend. Catherine, Mommie, and Catherine’s sister, Dorothie, travel to Paris so the sisters can study ballet with Lubov Egorova. They become friendly with George Balanchine in Paris and help him establish his first American school and company when he comes to the United States in 1933. Catherine marries wealthy Philadelphia attorney Philip Leidy and founds her Philadelphia Ballet Company in 1935. She choreographs—and her company presents—the first full-length, full-scale production of Sleeping Beauty in the United States as well as popular ballet Americana works such as Barn Dance and Terminal. Her company’s European tour in 1937 is the first ever by an American classical ballet troupe. Catherine loses some of her protégées to the newly formed Ballet Theatre and disbands her company after the United States enters World War II; she then choreographs Broadway musicals, Sonja Henie’s Hollywood Ice Revues, and Jimmy Durante’s NBC television show before dying in 1951 at age forty-six.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter describes the recordings of banjoist Pete Steele, who began as a coal miner and then became a carpenter in a southern Ohio paper plant. On March 29, 1938, at his company-owned home on Rhea Avenue a few blocks from the Champion paper mills, Pete Steele first recorded “Coal Creek March” along with twenty-six other songs and tunes. Pete's facility with multiple tunings, combined with his various right-hand picking styles, demonstrates a technical range unsurpassed on the Folk Archive's numerous other disc-era banjo recordings. Surrounded by his wife Lillie and their children, Pete applied these skills either solo or to accompany Lillie, who additionally sang four numbers by herself. Their son Craig joined them on three pieces, playing guitar and sometimes adding his voice to theirs.

Abstract The Theatre on the Balustrade (Divadlo na zabraldi) opened in 1958 in a derelict hall by the Vltava river not far from the Charles Bridge, Prague. On the basis of a promising script, Va’clav Havel was invited to join the company as a stage-hand in the summer of 1960, later as literary adviser. Acknowledging the influence of both Kafka and the Theatre of the Absurd on his plays, Havel adds the factor of his own bourgeois origins, the experience of ‘being excluded through no fault of my own’. The Havels were of ‘pampered bourgeois stock’ (as he put it); in 1948 the family business had been removed from their control, and later the estate was confiscated. When Havel and his brother finished elementary school at the age of 15 they were barred by their social origin from high school and university. The young Va’clav worked as a carpenter and laboratory assistant for five years.

Abstract Georg Bergeraque (1924-89) was born in the Klausener Platz quarter in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district in 1924. His father, a disabled World War I veteran, was a carpenter and a communist trade union official. His mother worked as a housewife and took care of her only and invalid son. After leaving school in 1938, Bergeraque attended a commercial college and found a position in 1940 as a factotum at the EHER Publishing Company, which put out the fascist publications Viilkische Beobachter and Angriff. He was a member of the Hitler Youth despite his disabilities, took pride in his uniform, and felt accepted and integrated in a way he had rarely experienced at school and with his playmates. He was exempted from compulsory labour and military service and joined the communist youth movement in 1945, following an easy denazification procedure. Through the trade union (FDGB--Freier Deutscher Gewirtschaftsbund or Free German Trade Union Federation) he joined the Communist Party.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This passage, from Dad’s essay “Man’s Leisure Time,” seems to sum up why Dad had turned to bow-and-arrow making as a favorite hobby in the late 1920s. Archery became a family enterprise. Dad loved to hunt, and we all grew up participating in hunting and archery practice at or near the Shack as well as further afield. And it turned out that Mother particularly had an extraordinary talent and skill for tournament archery. My father was a skilled carpenter, and probably learned from his father, Carl Leopold, who was skilled with hand tools. Dad’s father was the president of the Leopold Desk Company of Burlington, Iowa, and all of Dad’s siblings became expert in woodworking. Dad started making bows and arrows in 1926, when someone gave him a bow stave of yew wood. In Madison he began to shape this stave, and later ones of Osage orange or yew, into beautiful bows. In the basement he kept his giant toolbox of carpenter tools, which he had transported from Albuquerque. We still have that great box and some of his tools—planes, squares, chisels, files, saws, and such. In the basement he also set up a German-style workbench, with a wood vise on the right side, a metal quick-release vise on the left, and a series of peg holes down the middle to hold a block in place for using a plane. Dad placed his giant staves of Osage orange or yew in the vice and shaped the bow with a sharp drawknife and a wood file. The midsection, where the grip was located, was carefully shaped and made oval to fit the hand securely. To gauge the symmetry of his sculpturing of the bow stave, he hung up a large sheet of brown paper on the wall and placed a hook high at the top, hung up the bow, and, with the bowstring attached to the sculptured bow tips, pulled the string downward so the bow bent, and so he could see if the curve of the drawn bow was evenly symmetrical.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The argument is made that, in 1924–1926, with the creation of the Chicago Allied Arts (CAA), Chicago became the center of ballet in America. Composer John Alden Carpenter served as the organization’s guiding spirit, Bolm as its artistic director and choreographer, and Nicolas Remisoff as its chief designer. As its name suggests, CAA’s mission was to promulgate new music in part by building ballets as total art works with internationalist choreography and cutting-edge design. CAA drew on Russian emigrant and American talent in equal measure, engaging guest artists the likes of Tamara Karsavina and Vera Mirova. Page’s apprenticeship took place in this milieu of the Russian ballet—based on the Diaghilev model—in the United States. Yet, under the aegis of CAA, she created her first piece of ballet Americana, The Flapper and the Quarterback (1926), drawing on the American vernacular. In this way, she appropriated African American jazz as her global calling card. By 1928, Page’s approach was perceived to represent the wave of the future, and she was chosen, instead of Bolm, to give concerts with a pickup company at the Imperial Theatre in Tokyo, in conjunction with the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Hirohito. She spent the next six months touring Asia and Europe. An invitation to perform in Moscow offered another occasion to tour Europe and absorb international zeitgeists. At home, as the newly appointed ballet director and première danseuse of the Ravinia Opera, she would put her observation of world dance to good use.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Arthur A. Cohen (1928-1987) was born into an affiuent Jewish family in New York City. A gifted student, he received his B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1946 and his M.A. three years later from the same institution. At Chicago he began to take a serious academic interest in Jewish thought and therefore he enrolled, in 1950, to do a master’s degree in medieval Jewish philosophy at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City. After two years at the Seminary, he made a life-altering decision that his future lay outside academic life and in the world of publishing. Accordingly, in 1951 he founded Noonday Press; in 1956 he created Meridien Books; and from 1960 to 1974 he founded and ran the Ex Libris Publishing Company. He also served as editor in chief of Holt, Rinehart and Winston. During all this time, however, his interest in Jewish thought remained strong, and in 1962 he published his significant study of modern Jewish philosophy, The Natural and Supernatural Jew, in which he declares himself a decidedly “supernatural”Jew. In addition, he began to write novels, many with a Jewish theme. Over a period of sixteen years he published The Carpenter Years (1967), In the Days of Simon Stern (1973), A Hero in His Time (1976), Acts of Theft (1980), and An Admirable Woman (1983), which won a National Jewish Book Award. Near the end of his life he also returned directly to Jewish thought through his work in connection with the valuable collection of essays on Jewish theology that he co-edited with Paul Mendes Flohr, Contemporary Jewish Religious Thought. The book appeared just after his death in 1987.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter poses the question, How did this daughter of the middle—the middle child, the middle class, the Midwest—who grew up in the relative obscurity of Indianapolis, come to tour South America with Anna Pavlova and to perform as première danseuse with Adolph Bolm, a former international star of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes? The mother’s sacrifice, with marriage, of her own dreams to become a concert pianist laid the groundwork for Page’s eschewal of a conventional life. The child’s Progressive-Era girl’s education and early explorations as a barefoot, interpretive dancer gave her the confidence to audition for Pavlova and led to training with company member Jan Zalewski in Chicago. After graduating from Tudor Hall School for Girls, Ruth enrolled in Miss Williams and Miss McClellan’s French School for Girls in New York and commenced study with Bolm. Her ballet training culminated in a yearlong tour of South America with Pavlova’s company (1918–1919), chaperoned by her mother. The case is made that, as an international community of artists with an international repertory of national dances and international touring itinerary, Pavlova’s company offered the young dancer an alternative to college: a cosmopolitan education. Page went on to play the role of the Infanta in John Alden Carpenter’s ballet The Birthday of the Infanta, choreographed by Bolm, and became première danseuse of the latter’s Ballet Intime. In 1922, Page starred with Bolm in the first dance film with a synchronized soundtrack, Danse Macabre.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract One of the themes of this book is that complex organisms depend on a division of labour between their parts. But this end result can evolve in two very different ways. Compare, for example, an elephant and a plant cell. An elephant depends on co-operation between different kinds of cells—epithelial cells, muscle cells, neurones, and so on. These cells have essentially the same genes. They are derived during development by the division of a single fertilized egg. In evolutionary time, they are all descended from the same single-celled ancestor. The differences between them arise not from possessing different genes but because influences external to the cells cause different genes to be active in different cells. The division of labour in human society, or between castes in an insect colony, is analogous. Humans, although not genetically identical, are very similar, and have a recent common ancestor. The differences between a carpenter and an electrician are caused not by their genes but by their training. The evolution of such systems—multicellular organisms, and animal and human societies—is not discussed in this chapter: it is the topic of the remainder of the book.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The paper introduces tape springs as elements of fully compliant mechanisms. The localized folds of tape springs serve as compact revolute joints, with a very small radius and large range of motion, and the unfolded straight segments serve as links. By exploiting a tape spring’s ability to function as both links and joints, we present a new method of realizing fully compliant mechanisms with further simplification in their construction. Tape springs, typically found in carpenter tape rules, are thin-walled strips having constant thickness, zero longitudinal curvature, and a constant transverse curvature. The paper presents a closed-loop tape spring mechanism. By representing its folds as idealized revolute joints and its variable length links as sliding joints connecting rigid links, we present a modified Gruebler’s equation to determine its kinematic and idle degrees of freedom. To realize practical utility of tape spring mechanisms, we propose a simple actuation scheme incorporating shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators and successfully demonstrate its performance with a proof-of-concept prototype. The paper also presents potential applications for actuated tape spring mechanisms including a large displacement translational mechanism, planar positioning mechanisms, bi-stable, multi-stable, and variable stiffness mechanisms.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Unlike ocean going vessels, FPSOs often have appendages, such as bilge keels or riser porches, at or below the waterline in an asymmetric configuration. In addition, the riser and mooring systems impose asymmetric loads on the hull. As a result, the expected roll motion response to a wave environment is asymmetric and traditional methodologies cannot be used to predict it. Morison drag elements can be incorporated to represent the asymmetric condition and are easily implemented in time domain simulations. The limitation to this engineering approach is that the drag coefficient can only be calibrated to produce accurate motions or accurate appendage loads but not both. In this paper we compare the response using two time domain approaches, the first being adapted from a commercial marine dynamics analysis tool [9] and the other being a specialized hydrodynamics motion prediction tool [4]. Here, the commercial tool utilizes constant coefficient drag elements in conjunction with traditional linear equivalent roll damping to model the effect of unequal port and starboard bilge keels as is typical when a riser balcony are present. In contrast, the newly developed hydrodynamic model relies solely on a Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number dependent drag relation to represent the asymmetric drag contributions. The different calibration procedures will be discussed and a comparison for a design environmental condition between the two methodologies will be presented.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract The behaviour of subsea equipment has been widely studied by companies to minimise risks during subsea installation, which bring huge costs on the operation. The prediction of equipment motions typically is accomplished utilizing either commercial software or recommended practices from Classification Societies to comply with the minimum requirements on launching operations. This paper analyzes subsea installation in time and frequency domains using experimental, numerical and analytical approaches. Experiments have been carried out at Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT) to investigate the dependency of drag andadded mass coefficients on Keulegan-Carpenter number and at Laboratory of Waves and Currents (LOC-COPPE/UFRJ) to study equipment and cable responses on the installation. A numerical model is made in OrcaFlex® for determining the transmissibility of displacement and force in function of frequency ratio, and the time series of manifold responses. Linearized models from DNV [1] and the so-called natural KC (proposed in the present paper) are taken in the investigation and compared to previous methodologies. The natural KC approach arises as an innovative way of investigating subsea equipment as the literature only provides parametric analysis considering an arbitrary KC value (i.e., Pestana et al. [3]). The analyses notice a good agreement among experiments, OrcaFlex® model and natural KC model whereas the curves found by DNV method usually overpredict the response of subsea equipment specially around resonance region.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper deals with a vibratory problem of fluid-structure interaction. It considers the two-dimensional case of a rigid, smooth and circular cylinder undergoing transverse sinusoidal oscillations and immersed in a viscous fluid otherwise at rest. Our work is focused on the in-line force acting on the cylinder in unsteady laminar flow. The aim is to understand the variations of the force with time according to the configuration of the physical system. For that the analysis will also use an energetic approach based on the power balance. The physical system can be characterized by two non-dimensional numbers: the Reynolds number (Re) compares the importance of the fluid viscosity to its inertia, and the Keulegan-Carpenter number (Kc) measures the amplitude of the cylinder displacement compared to its diameter. First the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically by means of a finite elements method. The flow structure is analyzed by determining the evolution with time and throughout the computational domain of flow quantities, such as pressure field, vorticity field or stream lines. We also calculate the values versus time of the different terms occurring in the mean force balance and power balance. We compare these results for several pairs (Kc, Re) of “extreme” values. Thus it appears three characteristic configurations: the inertial Euler case (Kc≪1 and inviscid fluid), the Stokes case (Kc≪1 and Re≫1) and the drag case (Kc≫1). For these three reference configurations the physical mechanisms operating in the system are identified. But in intermediate cases, particularly when Kc>1, every mechanisms interact. Consequently the evolution of the force acting on the cylinder versus time is more complex and its interpretation becomes less straightforward. That is why a quantitative energetic analysis is carried out. We define a measure of the dissipative energy present in the flow. Then we compare the values of that coefficient for different cases throughout the map (Kc, Re).
