Abstract: Analytical expressions of the bifurcation boundaries exhibited by turret mooring systems (TMS), and expressions that define the morphogeneses occurring across boundaries are developed. These expressions ...

Abstract: Analytical expressions of the necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of mooring systems representing bifurcation boundaries, and expressions defining the morphogeneses occurring across ...

Abstract: A design methodology is formulated to reveal the dependence of nonlinear slowmotion dynamics of spread mooring systems (SMS) on mooring line arrangement. For a given SMS configuration, catastrophe ...

Abstract: The preliminary design of a differentiated compliance anchoring system (DICAS) is assessed based on stability of its slow-motion nonlinear dynamics using bifurcation theory. The system is to be ...
