Purpose
Topic : Mooring system fatigue analyses
6 months internship based in Monaco
Introduction:
Main types of mooring systems are Single Point Mooring (vessel weathervanes about a fixed part like a turret) or spread mooring (fixed vessel heading, unit is generally moored by 4 bundles of mooring lines, one per corner). See figures below.
One of the design criteria of mooring systems is fatigue of the mooring components.
Fatigue (damage on mooring lines) is induced by tension variations in the mooring line over service life and some contribution arising from in-plane and out-of-plane bending stresses on chain links. For turret moored systems, those tension variations on mooring lines also results in loading that serve to design turret structure in fatigue (turret loads)
Fatigue is studied versus a long-term description of the environment (scatter diagrams, hindcast data) generally involving a large number of environmental combinations between wind / waves and current. It is often not real
