Structural behaviour of fully coupled spar–mooring system under extreme wave loading

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2014
Floating spar platform has been proven to be an economical and efficient type of offshore oil and gas exploration structure in deep and ultra-deep seas. Associated nonlinearities, coupled action, damping effect and extreme sea environments may modify its

A Study on the Hydrodynamic Response Characteristics of Vessel-Shaped Cages Based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Due to the limitations of farming space, fish cage aquaculture is gradually expanding into offshore deep-sea areas, where the environmental conditions surrounding deep-sea fish cages are more complex and harsher compared to those in shallower offshore ...

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.

Investigation into Fishtailing Effect of Oil Tankers Moored at Pile-Founded Column Single-Point Mooring (SPM) Systems

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Targeting the “Fishtailing Effect” associated with shallow-water, pile-founded column single point mooring (SPM) systems, this study investigates the vessel’s motion characteristics under multiple operational scenarios using a numerical calculation ...

PHYSICAL MODEL TEST OF THE MOORED CONTAINER SHIP MOTION AND THE RELATED INDUCED MOORING FORCE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1986
To optimize structure design it is useful to conduct detail physical model tests. Tests of various basic physical phenomena (e.g. resonance problems), reproducing a sea state of prototype duration and then from the behavior of entire structure, the optimal design to the wharf structure will be obtained.

Design of automatic thruster assisted mooring systems for ships [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 1998
This paper addresses the mathematical modelling and controller design of an automatic thruster assisted position mooring system. Such control systems are applied to anchored floating production offloading and storage vessels and semi-subs. The controller

Design Optimization for a Truncated Catenary Mooring System for Scale Model Test

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
One of the main aspects when testing floating offshore platforms is the scaled mooring system, particularly with the increased depths where such platforms are intended.

The role of cable stiffness in the dynamic behaviours of submerged floating tunnel

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is a new solution for the transportation infrastructure through sea straits, fjords, and inland waters and can be a good alternative to long span suspension bridges and immersed tunnels. The mooring cables/anchors are main

Coupled Responses and Performance Assessment of Mooring-Connection Systems for Floating Photovoltaic Arrays in Shallow Waters

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Offshore floating photovoltaic (FPV) platforms are usually deployed in shallow waters with large tidal variations, where the modules of FPV are connected with each other via the connectors to form an array and mounted to the seabed via the mooring system.
