Any floating body placed in a wave environment experiences a time-varying loading pattern which has two components. There is a linear part of the time-varying loads which causes the body to oscillate at frequencies in the region in which most of the surface gravity waves appear.

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.

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.

Abstract As part of the engineering team responsible for evaluating vessel behaviour and motion, it is essential to assess critical offshore operational scenarios. One such scenario involves the mooring of a cargo barge to a construction vessel/barge operating in anchor mode, particularly during pipeline laying and structural lifting ...

MIMS-Moored Impact Monitoring System
Oceans '97. MTS/IEEE Conference Proceedings, 2002MIMS, the Moored Impact Monitoring System, was developed at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography to assist researchers in determining the fate of particulate waste discharges from offshore drilling rigs. These discharges aggregate with natural fines and biological materials in sea water to form flocs that settle rapidly to the bottom.

Analysis of Catenary Mooring Systems Based on Truncated Mooring Experiments
Volume 11A: Honoring Symposium for Professor Carlos Guedes Soares on Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering, 2018Considering the activities of floating systems pushing to the ultra-deepwater, the full scale mooring system needs to be truncated in order to carry out model tests in wave basin with reasonable model scale. In this paper, a Semi-Submersible moored by a catenary mooring system, which operates in 1500m water depth is truncated at 200m water depth.

Preliminary Design of Mooring Systems
Journal of Ship Research, 1982The preliminary design of mooring systems is formulated by separating the quasi-steady solution from the dynamic solution. A multiple time-scale expansion provides the appropriate equations, which are nonlinear for the quasi-steady part and linear space varying for the dynamic part.
