Reliability of Mooring Systems: Application to Polyester Moorings
Offshore Technology Conference, 1999Abstract The trend to deep water oilfields has accelerated the development of mooring systems. Future moorings requirements represent a considerable step out on current practice, Polyester moorings offer considerable economic and operational advantages.

A Study on Position Mooring System Design for the Vessel Moored by Mooring Lines
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2015This paper presents the experimental results about position mooring (PM) system applied to the barge ship. The aim of the PM is to maintain the position and motion of the ship's surge and sway directions as desired. In this paper, a system consisting of a barge vessel and mooring lines is mathematically modeled.

On the Slow Motions of Tankers Moored to Single Point Mooring Systems
Offshore Technology Conference, 1976ABSTRACT It is known that in steady current and wind in combination with irregular waves a tanker will not take up a steady position in the horizontal plane. Both full scale observations and model tests have shown that the behavior of a tanker moored to a single point mooring system is greatly determined by the slow

Dynamics of Spread Mooring Systems With Hybrid Mooring Lines
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 2000The weight of a chain mooring line in deep water is the main source of mooring line tension. Chain weight also induces a vertical force on the moored vessel. To achieve the desired tension without excessive weight, hybrid mooring lines, such as lighter synthetic fiber ropes with chains, have been proposed.

Abstract The mean time to failure of most permanently installed FPSO mooring systems is 7.6 years, in spite of design lives of 3 times that. This paper will combine an introduction to, and identification of, mechanisms that are deemed unique to floating production systems.

The Comparison and Analysis between Catenary Mooring System and Taut Mooring System of FPSO
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON Advances in Information Sciences and Service Sciences, 2013With the development of offshore oil and gas exploitation intensifies, FPSO which having many advantages can better adapt to the complicated environment of deep sea in numerous offshore platform. Due to the hull prone to resonance phenomenon, FPSO has more intense motion compared to other platforms. Therefore, the main challenge of FPSO in the deep sea

A Note on the Moore Test for Nonlinear Systems
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 1982The Moore test for nonlinear systems is improved in two directions. One presents the convergence test theorem under more general conditions. Another is a second-derivative test which reduces by half each edge of the test interval vector in the case of quadratic systems. Interval techniques are employed in the discussion.

Boyer-Moore Automation for the HOL System
1993Abstract Boyer and Moore's heuristics for their first-order logic without quantifiers have been re-implemented in the HOL system. They have been adapted to behave as an automatic prover for the subset of higher-order logic that roughly corresponds to the Boyer-Moore logic.
