Abstract: This mini-symposium deals with the application of computational methods in the analysis and
design of systems and structural components employed for oil & gas exploration and production as
well as for renewable energy applications. Different types of systems and structures can be
considered, including for instance fixed platforms, rigid or compliant; moored floating platforms;
rigid and flexible risers; pipelines; subsea equipment; wave-wind energy structures; and so on. The
methods can be applied to the study of different aspects of the behavior of such systems, including
structural and hydrodynamic analysis; oceanography, environmental loadings and fluid-structure
interaction; geotechnics, foundation systems and soil-structure interaction; reliability, random and
spectral analysis, signal processing, optimization, and other topics.
