Appendix A

Gives a comparison of existing computer programs for design of marine drilling risers. Results issued in Bulletin 16J are: (1) to show the degree of agreement among a representative group of riser analysis computer programs, and (2) to present data which can be used to help validate other such programs. Coverage includes: periodic dynamic analyses; random dynamic analyses; static analyses.
