• Assessment of nylon versus polyester ropes for mooring of floating wind turbines 

      Sørum, Stian Høegh; Fonseca, Nuno; Kent, Michael; Faria, Rui Pedro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      With the development of floating wind turbines comes the need for mooring systems suitable for shallow water depths. Compliance becomes challenging for mooring systems composed of chain and wire rope. Polyester ropes can ...
    • Modelling of Synthetic Fibre Rope Mooring for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines 

      Sørum, Stian Høegh; Fonseca, Nuno; Kent, Michael; Faria, Rui Pedro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line’s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for ...
