Finite Element Modelling of Mooring Lines

چکیده
In this paper, we develop a new finite element model for a cable suspended in water. Global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the truncated system is shown for a slightly simplified equation describing the motion of a cable having negligible added mass and supported by fixed end-points. Based on this, along with well known results on local existence and uniqueness of solutions for symmetrizable hyperbolic systems, we conjecture a global result for the initial-boundary value problem.

Investigation of Influence of Mooring system in Response of FPSO
FPSOs are useful in newly established offshore oil regions where there is no pipeline infrastructure in place, or in remote locations where building a pipeline is cost-prohibitive. In this study, hydrodynamic analysis of FPSO is inquired based Boundary Element Method (BEM) and wave forces/moments, added mass and damping coefficients of degrees of freedom are obtained by AQWA software. FPSO moor...

Single Point Mooring (SPM) are floating Structures that are deployed in deep water which their duties are vessel mooring and transferring oil and gas productions by pipelines from shore to petroleum tankers and conversely. One of the most important components of SPM is mooring system. Which bears not only environmental loads but also petroleum tanker loads which conducted by two thick ropes. Mo...
متن کاملNonlinear Analysis of Seabed Interaction and Mooring Cable Dynamics with A Finite Element Approach
In this paper, an efficient two-dimensional finite element model for a mooring cable and seabed interaction is built while geometric shape and tensions of the cable are computed in time domain. In the model, a hybrid beam element is employed to simulate the mooring cable with the seabed simulated by different soil constitutive models. When the elastic and elastic-plastic soil constitutive model...
متن کاملEvaluating the Validity of Quasi-Static Analysis for Prediction of Vessel Mooring Line Forces
Quasi-Static analysis of moored vessels is vastly used for engineering designs, as a substitute to the numerical simulation of dynamic mooring analysis. Yet, the level of validity of the results of quasi-static analysis is a matter of discussion. In the present study, the validation of the assumptions behind the quasi-static analysis of mooring vessels is examined with application of a dynamic ...

In this paper, the procedure of developing an unconstrained Genetic Algorithm code to solve mooring pattern optimization problems for floating structures is described. How to spread mooring lines around the offshore structures and tension level of these lines are the factors that have direct effect on response or offset of floating units which experience environmental conditions such as waves, ...
