On the effect of drag forces in mooring system restoring forces [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 Mooring line is a major source of stability and plays a key role in the global response of offshore floating wind turbine. In the current state of the research, a formulation based on the analytical catenary equation is most commonly used for the ...

Peak mooring forces in the horizontal interlaced multi-layered moored floating pipe breakwater [PDF]
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2011 Present study aims to investigate the influence of relative breakwater width W/L (W=width of breakwater, L=wavelength), wave steepness Hi/gT2 (Hi=incident wave height, T=wave period) and relative wave height d/W (d=water depth) on forces in the moorings ...

Effects of Mooring Compliancy on the Mooring Forces, Power Production, and Dynamics of a Floating Wave Activated Body Energy Converter [PDF]
Energies, 2018 The paper aims at investigating the interactions between a floating wave energy device (WEC) and its mooring system under a variety of wave conditions (regular and irregular, perpendicular and oblique, ordinary and extreme). The analyzed WEC is the DEXA,

Evaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces
International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2013 Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion.

Mooring Drag Effects in Interaction Problems of Waves and Moored Underwater Floating Structures
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 In contrast to either considering structures with full degrees of freedom but with wave force on mooring lines neglected or with wave scattering and radiation neglected, in this paper, a new analytic solution is presented for wave interaction with moored
