... Abstract Measurement and analysis of the stability of Single Point Moored (SPM) vessels has been conducted over the last few decades, resulting in well established analysis techniques for the assessment during conceptual design of the stability of the motions of SPM's on their moorings...

... component in such systems is influenced by the mechanical and hydrodynamic coupling effects and proximity of the other components. Consequently, if the feasibility of such systems is to be proven or demonstrated, coupled analysis techniques, which facilitate the accurate prediction of all responses without...

... of greater than 15% have been measured when minor modifications were made to one of the test platforms. This vibration analysis technique for the monitoring of offshore structures as a primary inspection aid is both technically feasible and practically possible. INTRODUCTION At the present time...

... ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to review the available computerized structural analysis techniques to predict the response of offshore platform structures under all the important dynamic environmental loads. The analysis techniques and mathematical models are outlined, the assumptions...
