This study evaluates the effects of tsunami waves on the global performance of a spread-
moored Floating Storage Unit (FSU) through tsunami-floater-mooring coupled dynamics …

This study suggests a novel riser structural health monitoring methodology based on a dual
algorithm (DA). In this method, the displacement tracing algorithm first traces the node …

In this work, a numerical and analytical study of the fatigue life of chains in the mooring
system of FPSO platforms is carried out. Initially, analytical equations are proposed to …

For reduced mechanical stress, some chains with links made of metallic materials could be
replaced by chains made of polymeric materials. A lower weight and a higher corrosion …

Abstracts In this paper, the effects of underwater-chain-stopper (UCS) bearing friction at
fairlead connection and time-varying interlink EI (bending stiffness) at the UCS exit on the …

Fatigue failure caused by frequent tension and bending loads is a crucial safety concern for
mooring chains used on floating structures in the oil and gas industry. The bending effect for …

Sažetak Floating structures are complex systems composed of superstructure, floating-
mooring components, and anchors. In this study, the behaviours of a pontoon, which is used …

This paper focuses on the rigorous and holistic fatigue analysis of mooring chains for a deep
draft semi-submersible platform in the challenging environment of the central Gulf of Mexico …
