Method & Case Study of Cutting in Offshore Structural Member Removal

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents some cutting methods used in offshore structural member removal which be different from the traditional machining method used in forming a part. The author collects three species of cutting techniques which classified by energy and tools. A catalogue from the practical engineering application is listed, so as to give a better understanding of their characters. The author also gives detailed description of cutting techniques used in offshore steel structural below. And case study of cutting method is given to illustrate the application of it. The study in this paper makes the important reference for practical engineering application of offshore engineering.
