Application of frequency domain methods for response based analysis of flexible risers
Response Based Analysis (RBA) is an advanced method for the prediction of long term distributions of critical responses in offshore floating systems.

Response Based Analysis (RBA) is an advanced method for the prediction of long term distributions of critical responses in offshore floating systems. For complex non-linear systems such as flexible risers, RBA requires time domain simulations that form the core data to which probabilistic models are applied. Because RBA requires significantly larger amounts of data than traditional short term analysis approaches, running the required number of simulations in the time domain can quickly become unfeasible if the systems physics being modelled are exceedingly complex. In addition, flexible risers are complex composite structures with highly dynamic, non-linear responses which further limit the feasibility of application of the RBA process to these systems. As an alternative, frequency domain solvers, such as that used in the OrcaFlex software, are potential substitutes for portions of datasets due to their processing times being significantly faster than time domain solvers. A comparison of extreme responses generated by frequency and time domain solvers was performed over the duration of two storms. An upper threshold limit for the frequency domains accuracy was found by comparing the differences of the two solvers responses as the storm progressed; where the differences became too large the threshold limit was set. For environmental conditions smaller than this threshold, the frequency domain solver may provide a quicker method for predicting the riser responses. Conditions that exceed this threshold require full time domain analysis for accurate responses to be generated. Limitations of the frequency domain solvers include their reduced ability to deal with non-linear mechanics such as bending/curvature responses.
