21.1　Introduction

The mooring is a compliant system that restrains a floating structures against the action of wind， wave， and current forces. The use of an efficient mooring system is essential for the safety of the ship， the crew， the terminal and the environment. Mooring systems work as spring mechanisms where displacement of the floater from a neutral equilibrium position causes a restoring force to react to the applied loading. The tension spring effect of mooring lines derives from two mechanisms：

● Hanging catenary effect—from gravity acting vertically ......     （共5529字）    [阅读本文]>>
