Maximum Mooring Tension Estimation of External Turret Moored FLNG
2018 OCEANS - MTS/IEEE Kobe Techno-Oceans (OTO), 2018The accurate estimation of extreme mooring tension for Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility is of great importance. However, few researches have been conducted on this area. In this study, we analyze the results from a numerical model for FLNG mooring line behavior to capture the statistical characteristics of extreme tension during 100-year ...

A tension-recording sensor for mooring lines
Aquaculture International, 1995IFREMER and MICREL have developed a new compact and waterproof tension sensor to record force on lines in seawater. Two shackles link the sensor to the line, and it measures the tension over a short measuring period (e.g. 0.5 s). It records measurements on its internal memory.

Tension-Tension Testing of a Novel Mooring Rope Construction
Volume 1: Offshore Technology, 2017Synthetic fibre ropes are in widespread use in maritime applications ranging from lifting to temporary and permanent mooring systems for vessels, offshore equipment and platforms. The selection of synthetic ropes over conventional steel components is motivated by several key advantages including selectable axial stiffness, energy absorption (and hence ...

Virtual Sensors for Mooring Line Tension Monitoring
Offshore Technology Conference, 2020Mooring line tension monitoring is required for permanently moored floating offshore platforms by some regional regulators and classification societies. This requirement is typically satisfied by installing physical sensors that directly measure the line tension.

Tension/Torsion Interactions in Multicomponent Mooring Lines
Offshore Technology Conference, 2000Abstract Six strand ropes generate torque under tension. This can lead to transfer of twist to other mooring line components, either permanently, or dynamically. The effects of this imposed twist can seriously affect strength and fatigue endurance. In order to predict the torsional interactions between components it

Performance Of Mooring System Tension Members
Proceedings OCEANS '83, 1983The subject of mooring lines encompasses a broad spectrum of service requirements (water depths, sea states, tensile loadings, and useful service lives) and a wide variety of candidate mooring members (chain, wire rope, synthetic fiber rope, electromechanical cables, or combinations of these elements). For some systems, a suitable mooring line may have

Statistics of Mooring-Line Tension in Random Waves
Offshore Technology Conference, 1989ABSTRACT Dynamics and fatigue analysis have been used quite frequently to evaluate mooring systems for permanent applications. In a conventional frequency domain approach, the distribution of tension amplitudes is obtained from the spectral density function of tension variation assuming, that the amplitudes are ...
