Abstract: This paper describes a combined numerical and geometric approach to study the dynamic behavior of a moored semi-submersible based on solutions of the nonlinear differential equation used to model ...

Abstract: Consideration of nonlinear effects in the dynamic analysis of offshore structures leads to complex phenomena even for relatively simple deterministic mathematical models. Nonlinearity in the stiffness ...

Abstract: When monitoring the wave-driven motions of a compliant offshore facility, be it an articulated mooring tower or a vessel, the engineer would like to be able to predict, in real time, any ...
