The 3D Nonlinear Dynamics of Catenary Slender Structures for Marine Applications

A power series method for static and dynamic analysis of offshore mooring lines

“…Studies based on FDM have been widely conducted for two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) cases, leading to the development of models and software packages. Among these studies, a 3D model developed in [13] serves as a valuable reference for the 3D dynamic analysis of mooring lines, and a 3D coupled model presented in [7] emphasizes the importance of the ocean current profile. The FEM-based models found in [1,2] aimed at addressing the global conditions that guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the mooring line PDE under the assumption of a drag-dominant behavior.…”
