Abstract
A subsea tubular system comprises extended sections of a first material and interposed sections of a second, different material that aids in damping vibration resulting from subsea dynamic conditions such as current. The vibration damping sections may make up a portion of the overall system significantly less than the sections of the first material. The number, length, and positions of the vibration damping sections may be selected based on factors such as the diameter, overall length, profile, and so forth. The system may be used as a riser or other conduit for the production of minerals such as oil and gas.
