Moored offshore structures - evaluation of forces in elastic mooring lines
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016 In most situations, the high frequency motions of the floating structure induce important effects in the mooring lines which affect also the motions of the structure. The experience accumulated during systematic experimental tests and calculations, carried out for different moored floating structures, showed a complex influence of various parameters on

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 ...

Dynamic Inversion Model of the Mooring Force on a Floating Bollard of a Sea Lock
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Sea locks that connect inland canals and rivers to the open sea are crucial links that ensure the efficient navigation of ships. Floating bollards (FBs) are significant components of sea locks, and they are affected by factors such as large ships, speed ...
