Mathematical analysis is an essential tool for the successful development and operation of
wave energy converters (WECs). Mathematical models of moorings systems are therefore a …

In this paper, robust adaptive control with dynamic control allocation is proposed for the
positioning of marine vessels equipped with a thruster assisted mooring system, in the …

Offshore engineering is concerned with the design and operation of systems in harsh marine
environmental conditions. It encompasses a whole spectrum of diverse multidisciplinary and …

This talk starts with the early history of ship autopilot design including the history and
invention of the gyroscope and the celebrated “three-term-controller” which today is known …

In this paper, we develop a finite element model for a cable suspended in water. Global
existence and uniqueness of solutions of the truncated system is shown for a slightly …

During the operation of moored, floating devices in the renewable energy sector, the tight
coupling between the mooring system and floater motion results in snap load conditions …

A new approach for the coupled simulation of moored floating structures in a numerical
wave tank using CFD is subject of this article. A quasistatic mooring model is derived by …

Addresses the potential for energy reduction obtained by using dynamic line tensioning in
thruster assisted position mooring systems. Traditionally, mooring systems have been …

This review presents a systematic summary of the state-of-the-art development of
technological solutions, modeling, and control strategies of thruster-assisted position …

This paper explores the role of wave spectral characteristics and wave time history on the
estimation of extreme mooring loads on floating offshore wind turbines. This research is …
