... waves with ± 45 deg main directions relative to the basin axis. For that purpose, we study two generation techniques proposed, respectively, by Dalrymple and Molin which rely on the control of sidewall reflections in order to enlarge the testing zone. Both numerical and experimental results show...

... design classification, UK Class F2, for such welds is not well founded, but probably overconservative for pipeline welds. In an attempt to justify upgrading current fatigue design classifications and providing a better basis for design, fatigue tests were performed on a range of girth-welded pipes...

.... The nominal chord and brace diameters of the tested T and Y-joints were 324 and 219 mm and their thicknesses were 12 and 8 mm, respectively. The tested joints are approximately quarter-size when compared to the largest joints in the platforms built in a shallow water depth of 80 m in the Bombay High field...
