The need to further exploit offshore wind resources has pushed offshore wind farms into
deeper waters, requiring the use of floating support structures to be economically …

The surge-heave coupled motion model of a Tension Leg Platform type Floating Offshore
Wind Turbine (TLP FOWT) is first established. By taking the tendons stretching and platform …

As a semicompliant and semirigid column group structure, both second-order sum-
frequency and diff-frequency wave forces and focusing positions are important for tension …

This paper presents an exact nonlinear analysis for the stiffness of a mooring system as a
function of the displacement and orientation of the floating structure. The analysis allows a …

The assessment of tendon mechanics for the tension leg platform (TLP) is crucial to the
safety of the whole TLP system. The tendon design includes nonlinear mechanical …

Due to the non-Gaussian characteristics of the tendon tension response of tension leg
platform (TLP), the common statistical model is not adequate to estimate the fatigue damage …

Covers theoretical concepts in offshore mechanics with consideration to new applications,
including offshore wind farms, ocean energy devices, aquaculture, floating bridges, and …

Dynamic response for tender-assisted drilling is crucial due to the safety concern and impact
on operability. Notably, the hydrodynamic interaction between two free floating units is …

A coupled 6 degree of freedom (DOF) aero-hydro-restoring model is developed to study the
dynamics of a tension leg platform (TLP)-type offshore wind turbine. This model includes …

The rise in energy demands has increased hydrocarbon exploration and production-related
activities in deep-water and ultra-deep-water settings. In this context, Tension Leg Platforms …
