부유식 해양 구조물은 계류선을 이용하여 다양한 종류의 환경하중에 따른 표류를 방지하게 된다. 따라서 구조물의 초기 설계 단계에서 신뢰성 있는 계류선의 설계는 매우 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 하지만 다양한 해양의 하중 조건을 견딜 수 있도록 설계된 계류선이라 하더라도 극한 조건의 하중이나 오랜시간 반복된 피로 하중으로 인하여 파손되는 경우가 발생하기도 한다. 일부 계류선의 파손은 잔여 계류선의 장력 변화를 야기하여 경우에 따라서는 전체 구조물의 점진적인 파손을 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 10 MW급 부유식 파력-해상풍력 복합발전 구조물에 연결된 12개의 계류선 중 일부가 손상된 경우의 구조물의 과도 응답을 시간 영역의 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석하였다. 이를 통하여 일부 계류선 손상 시 전체적인 구조물의 거동 변화 및 잔여 계류선의 장력 변화를 확인하였다.

This paper presents a mooring design procedure of a floating offshore wind turbine. The environment data of south offshore area of Jeju collected from Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration(KHOA) are used for hydrodynamic analyses as environmental conditions. We considered a semi-submersible type floating wind turbine based on Offshore Code Comparison Collaborative Continuation(OC4) DeepCWind platform and National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) 5 MW class wind turbine. Catenary mooring with studless chain is chosen as the mooring system. Important design decisions such as how large the nomial sizes are, how long the mooring lines are, how far the anchor points are located, are demonstrated in detail. Considering ultimate limit state and fatigue limit state based on 100-year return period and 50-year design life, respectively, longterm predictions of breaking strength and fatigue are proposed.

An automatic mooring system for a ship consists of a vacuum suction pad and a mechanical part, enabling quick and safe mooring of a ship. In the development of a mooring system, the design of a vacuum suction pad is a key to secure enough mooring forces and achieve stable operation of a mooring system. In the vacuum suction pad, properly designing its rubber seal determines the performance of the suction pad. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately design the rubber seal for maintaining a high-vacuum condition inside the pad as well as achieving its mechanical robustness for long-time use. Finite element analysis for the design of the rubber seal requires the use of an appropriate strain energy function model to accurately simulate mechanical behavior of the rubber seal material. In this study, we conducted simple uniaxial tensile testing of Chloroprene Rubber (CR) to explore the strain energy function model best-fitted to its experimentally measured engineering strain-stress curves depending on various temperature environments. This study elucidates the temperature-dependent mechanical behaviors of CR and will be foundational to design rubber seal for an automatic mooring system under various temperature conditions.

The Floating Wave Energy Convertor (FWEC) mooring design has an important requirement associated with the fact that, for a wave energy converter, the mooring connections may interact with their oscillations, possibly modifying its energy absorption significantly. It is therefore important to investigate what might be the most suitable mooring design according to the converter specifications and take into account the demands placed on the moorings in order to assure their survivability. The objective of this study is to identify a computational fluid dynamics method for investigating the effects of coupling a wave energy device with a mooring system. Using the commercial software ANSYS AQWA and ANSYS FLUENT, a configuration was studied for different displacements from the equilibrium position, load demands on the moorings, and internal fluid motion. These results and findings form a basis for future efforts in computational model development, design refinement, and investigation of station keeping for FWEC units.

The dynamic and structural responses of a 1000-m long circular submerged floating tunnel (SFT) with both ends fixed under survival irregular-wave excitations are investigated. The floater-mooring nonlinear and elastic coupled dynamics are modeled by a time-domain numerical simulation program, OrcaFlex. Two configurations of mooring lines i.e., vertical mooring (VM) and inclined mooring (IM), and four different buoyancy-weight ratios (BWRs) are selected to compare their global performances. The result of modal analysis is included to investigate the role of the respective natural frequencies and elastic modes. The effects of various submergence depths are also checked. The envelopes of the maximum/minimum horizontal and vertical responses, accelerations, mooring tensions, and shear forces/bending moments of the entire SFT along the longitudinal direction are obtained. In addition, at the mid-section, the time series and the corresponding spectra of those parameters are also presented and analyzed. The pros and cons of the two mooring shapes and high or low BWR values are systematically analyzed and discussed. It is demonstrated that the time-domain numerical simulation of the real system including nonlinear hydro-elastic dynamics coupled with nonlinear mooring dynamics is a good method to determine various design parameters.

This study demonstrates the result of mooring analysis for five spread-moored FPSOs having different length-to-breadth (L/B) ratios from 4.5–6.5. FPSOs are subjected to four metocean conditions, ones from the Gulf of Mexico (Hurricane/Loop current condition), West Africa, Nigeria, and Brazil Campos Basin, which are amongst the most typical offshore oil and gas fields. With change in design parameters of OBA (Outer bundle angle) and IBA (Inner bundle angle) combinations, a change in the line tension is demonstrated and the OBA-IBA combinations having the smallest line tension are presented for each L/B ratio and sea, respectively. This study is expected to influence the preliminary design layout of an FPSO spread-mooring system as a function of the L/B ratio and metocean conditions.

It has been developed large mooring fittings having the capacity of 160 tons and 180 tons installed on 170K LNG FSRU. The finite element analysis for the mooring fittings was carried out in order to check the structural integrity and to confirm satisfaction of the rule requirements. The 3 kinds of mooring fittings such as chock, bollard and universal fairlead are selected for FE analysis and load test. According to the FE analysis results, all the stress levels satisfied the acceptance criteria guided by the IACS UR A2, ISO standard, ship rules and OCIMF. As test results under design load, no structural defects were found.

This paper investigates the static configurations and the dynamic behaviors of a single point mooring line. To obtain the static configuration and static tension distribution along the mooring line, including the effect of fluid nonlinear drag and the elasticity of the line, the Runge-Kutta fourth order numerical method was used. The relationship between the horizontal excursion and the horizontal restoring force component of the mooring line, which is very important to a mooring line design, and the effect of a subsurface buoy on the static configuration are presented. In nonlinear dynamic analysis including nonlinear fluid drag acting on the line and geometrical nonlinearity for large deflections, finite element method using updated Lagrangian was used to obtain the solution. In the case of upper end harmonic excitation of the mooring line, the dynamic motion and the tension were also presented.

In this study, the global response characteristics of floater and mooring for floating offshore wind turbine with a detachable mooring system are performed. Global motion and structural response result extracted from the coupled motion analysis of 10MW DTU floating offshore wind turbine with detachable mooring system modeled by high-order boundary element model and finite element mesh, were used to study the characteristics of tension on mooring lines subjected to three different types of ocean loads. Breaking limit of mooring line characterized by wind, current and wave load has a major effect on the distribution of mooring tension found in time domain analysis. Based on the numerical results of coupled motion analysis, governing equation for calculating the motion response of a floater under ocean loads, and excitation force and surge motion and tension respectively are presented using excursion curve. It is found that the response of floater is reliable and accurate for calculating the tension distributions along the mooring lines under complex loadings. This means that the minimun breaking limit of mooring system satisfied a design criteria at ultimate ocean environmental loading condtions.
