Nonlinear Hydrostatic Restoring of Floating Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis to determine the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring loads and stiffnesses of a floating offshore platform. A new approach is developed to calculate the buoyancy forces ...
Motion/Force Constrainability Analysis of Lower Mobility Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The constraint performance analysis in the limited kinetostatic subspace of parallel manipulators is a significant but ignored issue. The motion/force constrainability analysis, with focus on lowermobility parallel ...
Preliminary Assessment of the Importance of Platform–Tendon Coupling in a Tension Leg Platform
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents performance metrics that can be used to evaluate the response sensitivity of a tension leg platform (TLP) to its tendons. An uncoupled TLP model ignores the intrinsic dynamics and environmental loads ...
Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Spar Floating Offshore Wind Turbine With Consideration of the Rotor Speed Variations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a rigid multibody dynamic model to simulate the dynamic response of a spar floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The system consists of a spar floating platform, the moorings, the wind turbine tower, ...
