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
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 ...

Estimation of the Mooring Force
Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1988 In the first report, outline of the basic designing of the single point mooring systems (SPM) was explained. And it was pointed out that the dynamic stability analysis can be applied practically to the primary planning of SPMs. Slow oscillation or weather vane motion of a moored ship sometimes causes excessive mooring force and whether the oscillation ...

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

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The conventional mooring positioning technique is cost-effective; however, it shows poor maneuverability and positioning precision. In this study, to calculate the mooring tension, mooring cables were discretized into lumped mass models using the lumped ...
