Abstract
The present work aims to study the kink formation and dynamic compression on risers, which are strictly correlated to the wave motion and sea current. Those phenomena can seriously affect the riser structure leading to failure and consequently loss of its functionality. For those reasons, a parametric study will be conducted on the behavior of a catenary flexible riser submitted to heave and roll motions due to regular and irregular waves. The models will be analyzed using ABAQUS, a software based on the finite element method.
