Dynamic Analysis of a Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) Inspired by Parallel Robotic Manipulators

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Dynamic performance of a tension leg platform (TLP) is analyzed using a robotic manipulator approach. The TLP is vertically anchored to the seabed by twelve mooring lines. A triangular mooring line configuration is studied.

Hydrodynamic Sensitivity of Moored and Articulated Multibody Offshore Structures in Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Within the framework of Space@Sea project, an articulated modular floating structure was developed to serve as building blocks for artificial islands. The modularity was one of the key elements, intended to provide the desired flexibility of additional ...

Moored offshore structures - evaluation of forces in elastic mooring lines

open access: yesIOP 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

Numerical Modelling for Synthetic Fibre Mooring Lines Taking Elongation and Contraction into Account

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Synthetic fibre mooring lines are used as an alternative to traditional steel wire ropes due to their higher strength to weight ratio. Benefits are also found in relative ease of handling, and therefore the marine industry has largely accepted this type ...

Research on the Dynamic Behaviors of a Spar Floating Offshore Wind Turbine With an Innovative Type of Mooring System

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Due to the existence of rotor and tower, the floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is subjected to greater wind heeling moment than the conventional floating platform, which would cause significant pitch motion and bring great challenge to the structural

Experimental study of ship mooring force under action of landslide in Three Gorges Reservoir area

open access: yesShuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2017
The Yangtze River, known as a "golden waterway", is the most important inland waterway in China. There are lots of ships in the waterway, many of which are in the mooring state due to loading or unloading and other reasons.

Study on hydrodynamic response characteristics of double moored floating box considering influence of connection stiffness and length

open access: yesZhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu
Objective Articulated multiple floating structures are not only subject to wave excitation forces, but also to other nonlinear loads such as connection forces, mooring forces and diffraction forces between floats, making it challenging to predict their ...
