Abstract In this paper, a taut wire mooring system has been designed consisting of three wire ropes symmetrically arranged. The power take-off system is modelled by a linear spring and a heave plate to simulate the linear damping of the power take-off. A series of regular wave tests in head seas are performed to study the dynamics of the

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

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

The use of HMPE mooring lines in deepwater MODU mooring systems
OCEANS 2008, 2008The use of synthetic components, particularly polyester, in deepwater Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) mooring systems has become a viable option to extend the mooring capabilities of a MODU. To date, the use of synthetic components in MODU moorings has mostly been limited to polyester, with few exceptions. This paper will focus on an alternative

Effect of mooring system on moored ship motions and harbour tranquillity
International Journal of Ocean Systems Management, 2008Recently, numerical simulation on the motions of ship moored in ports and harbours is carried out to evaluate property of the motions, and is applied to calculating harbour tranquillity directly. However, the simulations take much time, costs and knowledge on evaluation of the results.

Evaluation on Safety of Moored Ships and Mooring Systems for a Tsunami Attack
OCEANS 2008 - MTS/IEEE Kobe Techno-Ocean, 2008We evaluated the safety of two moored ships in the port of Shimizu against the Tokai earthquake tsunami based on the numerical simulations. We first carried out the tsunami simulation and obtained the tsunami wave profiles at two berths in the target port.

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.
