Vertical Deflection Due to Hog & Sag for FPSO - 01/23/07 03:00 AM
Dear Professionals,
Currently i am performing Stress Analysis for a FPSO. I was told by one of my senior engineer that vertical structural deflection due to Hogging & sagging should not be considered. He said that many professional engineers do not consider it too. I would like to know if such statments are correct? If it is true, what are the reasons not to consider vertical deflection?
