Analysis of structural second order effects on a floating concrete platform for FOWT's
(Elsevier, 2016-09)
Article
Open AccessThe irruption of the floating wind energy in the offshore engineering is changing the paradigm of the structural analysis for those new structures, which are significantly smaller and more slender than those previously ... -
Application of Morison equation in irregular wave trains with high frequency waves
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMost numerical models for the analysis of offshore wind platforms are based on one of two different approaches, depending on how waves forces are applied to the structure: 1) the potential flow theory, and 2) the Morison ... -
Design optimization for a truncated catenary mooring system for scale model test
(2015)
Article
Open AccessOne of the main aspects when testing floating offshore platforms is the scaled mooring system, particularly with the increased depths where such platforms are intended. The paper proposes the use of truncated mooring systems ... -
