Abstract
The response of a long towed pipeline to random spreading seas is considered. Initially an analytical technique is presented in which the response of an infinite pipeline is calculated and then modified to incorporate the relevant boundary conditions. A finite element model of the pipeline is then presented. In each case, a linearised frequency domain approach is adopted. Good agreement between the two methods is obtained and it is found that the first approach requires far less computer time than the finite element method.
