Mathematical analysis is an essential tool for the successful development and operation of
wave energy converters (WECs). Mathematical models of moorings systems are therefore a …

Diverse forms of offshore oil and gas structures are utilized for a wide range of purposes and
in varying water depths. They are designed for unique environments and water depths …

Floating wind turbines represent a cost-efficient energy solution in deep water where bottom-
fixed wind turbine becomes excessively expensive. However, mooring design is quite …

This paper aims to investigate the basic interaction characteristics of side-by-side moored
vessels both numerically and experimentally. A higher-order boundary element method …

Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for a variety of functions in
varied sea depths. These structures are tailored for certain environments and sea depths …

Shared mooring lines have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the installation
costs of floating offshore wind farms by minimizing the requirement for multiple anchors …

In this paper, two hybrid mooring system is proposed to improve the performance of the
dynamic motions of the floating platform. The concepts are a multi-segment arrangement of …

Design of Marine Risers with Functionally Graded Materials focuses on the application and
use of marine risers fabricated with functionally graded materials (FGM) in ocean …

Mooring systems often make use of submerged buoys (SBs) in order to make the moorings
compliant. In this paper we present the dynamic effects of changing the buoy geometry or …

Coupled dynamic analyses of a deep-water Semi-submersible platform, in the South China
Sea region, is carried out under postulated damage of the restraining system for both 10 and …
