Mooring Mechanics - A Comprehensive Computer Study. Volume 1: Three Dimensional Static Analysis and Design of Single Point Taut and Slack Moored Buoy Systems. Part 1: Surface Mooring Lines. Part 2: Subsurface Mooring Lines

Abstract

Part I of the report deals mainly with the static case of a single point surface mooring line, and presents a computer solution to provide, with reasonable accuracy, the system's steady-state configuration with regard to geometry and line tension. The computer program presented is written in FORTRAN. A complete listing and detailed instructions for its use are included. Part II deals mainly with the static case of a single point subsurface mooring line, and presents a computer solution to provide, with reasonable accuracy, the system's steady-state configuration with regard to geometry and line tension.
