A moored body in the sea is subjected to second-order wave forces as well as to linear oscillatory ones. The second-order farces contain slowly-varying components, of which the characteristic frequency can be as low as the natural frequency of horizontal motions of the moored body. As a consequence, the slowly-varying force can excite unexpectedly large horizontal excursion of the body, which may cause a serious damage on the mooring system. In design analysis of Turret-type mooring system which is one of the interesting mooring systems for a floating body. the slowly-varying drift forces and the transient motion of the system during weathervaning are very important. In this paper the slowly-varying drift forces were calculated by using the Quadratic Transfer Function with considering the second order free-wave contributions. Additionaly the transient surge motion of the moored body was simulated with including the roll of the time-memory effect. In this simulation the spring constant of the spread Turret mooring system is updated at every time step for considering the nonlinear effect.

유가의 상승에 따른 에너지확보는 매년 국가의 중요한 정책의 하나로 되었으며, 전세계적으로 다양한 탱카선이 건조되어왔고 이들 선박의 운항에 따라 국내에서도 탱가선을 서비스 하기위한 계류, 저장, 이송 시설 등 항만인프라의 구축이 원활하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 이들 시설 중 돌핀부두에의 접이안을 위한 시설의 국내 설계기준은 오래전에 설정된 것으로 보완이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 현재 건조되어 운항되고 있는 전세계의 탱카선의 자료를 수집하고 톤수에 따른 선형을 분석하여 돌핀부두내 작업돌핀, 접안돌핀, 계류돌핀의 적정간격과 계류안정성의 평가에 반영하고, 설계기준의 보완에 대한 의견을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석에는 전세계 250여척의 탱카선의 선형을 조사하였고, 미국, 영국, 캐나다 등 외국의 설계기준과 국내기준의 비교가 이루어졌다.

This paper presents the quasi-static mooring analysis model for a vessel moored at the quay. The results of this analysis will aid the designer in determining the mooring configuration for the surface vessels subjected to wind, current and wave forces. And it will also help him in selecting the equipment for the fixed mooring system. The cumulative elastic behavior of the mooring lines invokes a complicated nonlinear problem since the mooring lines are relatively short and hang in air as noncoplanar configurations. This nonlinear mooring problem is solved in this paper by the load increment technique in which the external load is increased step by step taking all sources of nonlinearity into account.

Most offshore platforms utilize chain mooring systems for position keeping. However, information regarding related design modification processes is scarce in literature. This study focuses on the floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering terminal (FLBT) as the target of shore platform and analyzes the corresponding initial mooring design and model tests via numerical simulations. Subsequently, based on the modified design conditions, a new mooring system design is proposed. Adjusting the main direction of the mooring line bundle according to the dominant environmental direction is found to significantly reduce the mooring design load. Even turret-moored offshore platforms are exposed to beam sea conditions, leading to high mooring tension due to motions in beam sea conditions. Collinear environmental conditions cannot be considered as design conditions. Mooring design loads occur under complex conditions of wind, waves, and currents in different environmental directions. Therefore, it is essential appropriately assign the roll damping coefficients during mooring analysis because the roll has a significant effect on mooring tension.

In this paper, we investigated the design method of mooring system in ultra deep sea and carried out the conceptual design for offshore West Africa oil field in ultra deep sea of 3000 meters. Recently, it was feasible to design and install the offshore floating structures in deep sea of up to 2000 meters. Due to the simplicity, two-point mooring design is fully utilized. Force-excursion curves are throughly examined to find out the feasibility of various combinations of mooring lines. Free length and pretension effects are discussed. It is found that composite materials including synthetic fiber rope may be good solution for ultra deep sea mooring design.

The very large floating structure which can be used for as airport may be as large as several kilometer long and wide. The first order wave forces as well as wave drift forces are very important forces on such a very large floating structures. In the present study, the time simulation of motion responses for dolphin-moored VLFS in waves is presented. The hydrodynamic coefficients and wave forces involved in the equations are obtained from a three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The horizontal drift forces and mooring forces for dolphin systems are taken into account. As for numerical example, time domain analyses are carried out for a VLFS(Phase I) in irregular wave condition.

로터-베어링축계는 증기및 가스터빈, 터보 발전기, 압축기등 거의 모든 산업 기계류에서 동력 전달의 기본 도구로써 사용되고 있다. 즉 회전에 의한 동력 의전달은 비교적 간단히 대용량의 동력을 효율적으로 전달할 수 있다. 이에 따라 회전기계류에 대한 연구는 산업 혁명 이후 꾸준히 발전되어 온바, 특히 근래에 들어와 산업기계류의 경쟁이 치열하여짐에 따라 산업기계류의 고정 밀화, 고속화, 고신뢰화 요구가 증대하고 있는 현실을 비추어 볼때, 산업 기 계류의 근간을 이루고 있는 로터-베어링 축계의 안정성을 포함한 진동에 관 한 문제는 회전기계류 설계의 주요 기술로써 연구.개발의 필요성이 매우 높 다 하겠다. 회전축계 진동 관련 연구는 두 분야로 대별될 수 있는데 언밸런 스(Unbalance)에 의한 Synchronous진동과 여러가지 원인에 의해 계의 불안 정성을 유발시키는 Nonsynchronous진동으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이들 연구의 기본이 되는 회전축-베어링계 동특성 해석 프로그램을 개발하 였다. 여러가지 방법이 있으나 여기서는 Holzer가 비틀림 진동에 적용하고, Mykiestad(2)와 Prohl(3)에 의하여 회전축의 횡 진동에 적용된 이후 Lund(4) 등에 의하여 베어링의 영향등이 첨가된 전달 매트릭스 (Transfer Matrix) 방 법을 이용하여 임계속도(Critical Speed), 모우드 형태(Mode shapes)를 예측 하고 불안정 판정(Instability Criteria)등을 할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였 다. 특히 Murphy(1)의 다항식 방법(Polynomial Method)에 기본을 두어 기존 의 전달 매트릭스가 가지고 있던 반복, 수렴 시간 문제와 빠뜨리는 임계속도 예측에 대한 개선을 이루었으며 기존 논문과 실험 결과와의 비교 검토를 통 하여 개발된 프로그램의 신뢰성을 검토하였다. 특히, 각종 회전 기계의 소형 화, 경량화 추세에 따라 지반이나 케이싱이 경량이거나 유연하여 회전축과 동적으로 연성된 경우 회전축-베어링-지반으로 이루어진 2중구조의 회전축 계 동특성을 해석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하므로서 회전 기계류의 진동 전반에 걸친 문제점에 대한 그 원인과 현상을 명확히 분석하여 국내의 전기 계류의 보다 신뢰성있는 설계 및 제작자료를 확보하는데 기여할 수 있게 하 였다.

In order to evaluate the safety of navigation at sea and the safety of mooring on berthing, it is necessary that the wave and wind induced ship dynamic motion should be measured in real time domain for the validity of theoretical evaluation method such as sea-keeping performance and safety of mooring. In this paper, the basic design of sensors is discussed and some system configurations were shown. The developed system mainly consists of 4 kinds of sensors such as three-dimensional accelerator, two-dimensional tilt sensor, azimuth sensor and two displacement sensors. Using this measuring system, it can be obtained the 6 degrees of freedom of ship dynamic motions at sea and on berthing such as rolling, pitching, yawing, swaying, heaving, surging under the certain external forces.

A three-dimensional numerical method based on the Green's integral equation is developed to predict the motion response and drift force in waves for the ocean monitoring facilities. In this method, we use source and doublet distribution, and triangular and rectangular eliments. To eliminate the irregular frequency phenomenon, the method of improved integral equation is applied and the time-mean drift force is calculated by the method of direct pressure integration over the body surface. To conform the validity of the present numerical method, some calculations for the floating sphere are performed and it is shown that the present method provides sufficiently reliable results. As a calculation example for the real facilities, the motion response and the drift force of the vertical cylinder type ocean monitoring buoy with 2.6 m diameter and 3,77 m draft are calculated and discussed. The obtained results of motion response can be used to determine the shape and dimension of the buoy to reduce the motion response, and other data such as the effect of motion reduction due to a damper can be predictable through these motion calculations. Also, the calculation results of drift force can be used in the design procedure of mooring system to predict the maximum wave load acting on the mooring system. The present method has, in principle, no restriction in the application to the arbitrary shape facilities. So, this method can be a robust tool for the design, installation, and operation of various kinds of the floating-type ocean monitoring facilities.
