Mechanical Modeling of the Not Welded Tubular Y and T-Joints of the Offshore Steels.

In this work a numerical modeling with ANSYS program of the mechanical behavior of the not welded tubular junction structures of the offshore has been considered. The objective is to determine the stress field and displacement of the structure in particular, at the chord/brace intersection of the Y-joint and T-joint under the action of wind and sea wave.
