... of the mooring system must be carried out in conjunction with a hydrodynamic analysis. Isaacson and Baldwin (1996) have provided a general review of the analysis of moored structures in waves and currents, and reviews of the analysis of mooring system behaviour have been given by Leonard (1988) and Triantafyllou...

... of hydrodynamically loaded cable has been developed by Chiou and IISOPE Member Leonard (1991) in which the problem is formulated as a two point boundary value problem. The boundary value problem is then transformed into an iterative set of quasi-linearized boundary value problems, which is then decomposed (Atkinson...
