Abstract
The paper deals with the dynamics of mooring lines
for deep water applications. Time-domain and
frequency-domain analysis methods have been used to
present extensive numerical results concerning dynamic
tensions amplifications and cable's motions. Special
attention has been paid to the assessment of the
impact that submerged buoys have on the dynamic
behaviour of mooring lines on which they are attached.
The effect that the principle characteristics of the
buoys (number, size and location of attachment) have
on the dynamics of deep water mooring lines has
demonstrated through a parametric numerical study.
