The mooring systems give stability to the floating platforms against environmental
conditions, stabilizing the platform with mooring lines attached to the seabed. The mooring …

A Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is a complex control system composed of several
algorithms, such as controllers, filters and optimal thrust allocation. The design, analysis and …

With more recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in the deep ocean locations like
Guyana and Ghana, floating vessels such as floating production storage and offloading …

In the offshore oil industry, FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) units play a
leading role for the production, processing and storage of oil. The hull girder strength of …

Modern cities are currently facing rapid urban growth and struggle to maintain a sustainable
development. In this context,“eco-neighbourhoods” became the perfect place for testing new …

The design of mooring systems for floating production units usually considers extreme
environmental conditions as a primary design parameter. However, in the case of FPSO …

The characteristic environmental load effect for the design of mooring systems of floating
units can be defined by means of three procedures:(a) the one associated to an extreme sea …

Using classic approaches of analytical mechanics, this paper addresses the general
problem and provides an analytic and explicit formulation for the stiffness matrix of a generic …

With the development in the exploitation of maritime resources, the structural health
monitoring (SHM) of offshore structures becomes necessary. This study focuses on …

This work introduces a time‐adaptive strategy that uses a refinement estimator on the basis
of the first Frenet curvature. In dynamics, a time‐adaptive strategy is a mechanism that …
