Ongoing and Past Research

Present research areas are vortex induced vibration of marine risers and dynamic behavior of offshore wind turbines. Both research areas focus on applicatiof statistically-based random vibration methods. This research is being conducted by Professor Bert Sweetman, Dr Kim E Mittendorf, PhD Candidate M.K. Choi, PhD Student Mahdi Karimi, and Junior Undergraduate Student April Spiller. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number CMS-0428585, "Sensors: Statistical Algorithm Development for Distributed Sensor Networks with Application to Structural Health Monitoring and State Assessment" and grant number ENG-0448730, "CAREER: Irregular Environmental Loading and Response of Offshore Structures" and by the Texas Institute of Oceanography.

Ongoing Research on Marine Risers

For Group Members

Much of the historical work done by the RMS Group at Stanford was prected by confidentiality agreements with our sponsors. Much of the Marine-related technical documentation and software tools are available to past and present sponsors, though a sponsor username and password are required for some features. Usernames and passwords are the same as for the RMS website at Stanford.
