Proceedings Papers

Paper presented at the The Eighth International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference, May 24–29, 1998
Paper Number: ISOPE-I-98-270
... ABSTRACT Discus buoy is among the most common devices for estimating wave spectrum. In this paper a discus buoy with articulated keel is considered. Effect of the relative joint position on the dynamic behavior and the static stability of the system is evaluated. First the static stability...

Paper presented at the The Seventh International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference, May 25–30, 1997
Paper Number: ISOPE-I-97-347
... ABSTRACT Kinetic and kinematic equations of a discus buoy are derived assuming large angles represented by Euler parameters. The three-dimensional coupled interaction of a floating discus and its mooring is studied. External loadings include hydrodynamic forces, tether tensions, wind loadings...

Paper presented at the The Sixth International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference, May 26–31, 1996
Paper Number: ISOPE-I-96-211
... Center (NDBC) 30m discus buoy that has an all-chain slack mooring with a significant amount of excess chain lying on the sea floor. Motion transfer functions obtained from the two numerical models and field data are compared. This study shows that the buoy responses are weakly nonlinear within...
