The motion of a moored semi-submersible in regular waves and the wave-induced internal forces in the semi-submersible have been studied both numerically and experimentally. In the numerical formulation, the semi-submersible is modelled as an externally constrained floating body, which is regarded as

The experimental and theoretical investigations on the behaviour of pontoon-type floating breakwaters are presented. A two-dimensional finite element model is adopted to study the behaviour of pontoon-type floating breakwaters in beam waves. The stiffness coefficients of the slack mooring lines are
Truss pontoon semi-submersible (TPS) is a new offshore structure concept in industry, where a truss spar is used to create the added mass by the heave plates. In the present paper, the effect of the heave plates on the vertical motion of the floating structure is demonstrated. A TPS is analyzed by u
