A floating production system is exposed to many different environmental conditions over its service life. Consequently, the long-term fatigue analysis of deepwater risers is computationally demanding due to the need to evaluate the fatigue damage from a multitude of sea states. Because of the nonlinearities in the system, the dynamic analysis is often performed in the time domain. This further compounds the computational difficulty owing to the time consuming nature of time domain analysis, as well as the need to simulate a sufficient duration for each sea state to minimize sampling variability. This paper presents a new and efficient simulation technique for long-term fatigue analysis. The results based on this new technique are compared against those obtained from the direct simulation of numerous sea states.

Abstract Background Heart rate variability (HRV) decreases in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and it can be considered a marker for cardiovascular dysautonomia.Purpose To evaluate long-term time-domain analysis of HRV of PD patients and compare the results with those of matched healthy individuals.Method Idiopathic PD patients without comorbidity impairing HRV, and age-matched healthy individuals were recruited in a pilot study. A long-term time domain analysis of HRV using 24-hour ambulatory ECG was performed.Results 18 PD patients fulfilling inclusion criteria completed the evaluation (mean age was 55.6 ±8.8, disease duration: 5.0±4.7). Mean SCOPA-AUT score was 10.1±7.3. Patients were on Hoehn & Yahr stage 1-2 and mean Levodopa Equivalent Dose (LED) was 311 ± 239.9. Mean of the 5-minute standard deviation (SD) of R-R intervals distribution (SDNN) for all 5 min segments of the entire recording (ISDNN) was significantly lower in patients compared to controls. ISDNN significantly correlated with age, LED, levodopa and SCOPA-AUT scores.Conclusion In our population characterized by mild to moderate disease severity, time-domain assessment of HRV seemed to be a potential tool to characterize cardiovascular dysautonomia. Decrease of ISDNN in PD may reflect a circadian overall sympathetic and parasympathetic disarrangement.

Decrease of ISDNN in PD may reflect an autonomic derangement extending all day and night long.
