Abstract: The hydrodynamic coefficients of a semisubmersible undergoing slow-drift oscillation were determined through a model test. The semisubmersible model was moored in head seas, fore and aft, with ...

Abstract: A semisubmersible moored in waves experiences a steady offset and two types of motion—a first-order motion at frequencies corresponding to the incident wave frequencies and a slowly oscillating ...

Abstract: A versatile and efficient method of analysis has been developed to analyze a mooring system composed of a floating structure, e.g., a ship, mooring lines, fenders, and an articulated tower. ...
