Numerical Study of Uncoupled and Coupled TLP Models

In this paper, two analysis models for tension leg platform (TLP) are proposed based on different simulation methods of the tendons for studying the TLP motion responses in waves. In the uncoupled analysis model, the tendon is simplified as a spring, and the restoring forces matrix is derived with t...
