Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line?s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for slow loading, with a higher stiff...

Compared with the traditional catenary or semi-taut mooring lines, the taut mooring system is more advantageous in many aspects, such as reduction of mooring line loads, erosion and fatigue damage during the powering productions of the floating wind turb...

The numerical procedures for dynamic analysis of mooring lines in the time domain and frequency domain were developed in this work. The lumped mass method was used to model the mooring lines. In the time domain dynamic analysis, the modified Euler method...

A coupled floating body-mooring line model is developed by combining a boundary element model for a two-dimensional floating body and a catenary mooring line model. The boundary element model is formulated in the time domain by a continuous Rankine sourc...

Ports exposed to high energy long wave conditions can experience significantly reduced berth availability, leading to loss of throughput. The Port of Geraldton, located in Western Australia, is an example of such a port. A range of alternatives to mitiga...
