Description The objective of this thesis proposal is the numerical modeling using FEM and design of an innovative connection system for modular offshore floating platforms based on elastomeric bearing technology. Elastomeric bearings, widely used today in seismic buildings and bridges, provide excellent elastic characteristics and resistance to other expected loads in connections between floating platforms. The aim of the thesis is to develop FEM numerical models for the mechanical characterization of elastomeric bearings and the consequent design of the connection system between platforms, both functional and mechanical. This thesis activity can be integrated with an internship at the startup SEAform S.r.l..
