ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of a marine riser tensioner (10, 100, 200, 300) are disclosed for use in tensioning a marine riser (12) on a tension leg platform (14) by the use of elastomeric elements. In one embodiment, a plurality of elastomeric pads (60) are placed in pad shear to provide tension to the marine riser. In another embodiment, elastomeric disks (124) are placed in torsional shear to provide the tension to the marine riser. In other embodiments (200, 300) elastomeric cones (208) deform in ring shear.
