    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.102, No.6, pp. 449-474, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.102.449

    Abstract Embedded anchors have been widely used in offshore operations, and they are known to be effective and economical solutions to anchoring problems. Aiming at contributing to the definition and understanding of the embedded mooring line behavior, this paper expands the formulation adopted at DNV Recommended Practices, for two-dimensional modeling of the interaction between the seabed and the anchor line, to three-dimensional analysis. The formulation here presented, within an elegant differential geometry approach, can now model even out of plane lines. A reference problem is then defined and solved using the obtained governing equations. Corresponding equations More >
