Abstract: This paper describes experimental studies on the motion, mooring tension and structural responses of a typical semisubmersible in regular waves. A 1/50-scale structural dynamic model of two-pontoon ...

Abstract: The dynamic response characteristics of the taut-moored platform or the so-called Tension Leg Platform in regular waves are studied both by several series of tank tests and by some simplified ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of comparative calculations on structural responses of a typical semisubmersible and the discussion on design waves for brace stresses. A typical semisubmersible ...
