Study on the dynamic characteristics of a soft yoke mooring system for floating production storage and offloading based on field measurements

The position and inclination of the mooring legs and yoke of a soft yoke mooring system for floating production storage and offloading in Bohai Bay were measured by full-scale monitoring technique. A novel multi-body dynamic analytical method of the horizontal restoring force for the soft yoke moori...
