Kinematics Analysis of Offshore Flexible Riser Fatigue Testing Machine

Article Preview

Abstract:

Kinematics model is established for offshore flexible riser fatigue testing machine using vector analytical method, and motion simulation was carried out by ADAMS software. The motion curves of driven member were got,correctness of design results were proved through comparing with theoretical value.
