Mooring System Engineering for Offshore Structures/Проектирование морских причальных сооружений

Книга на английском языке.
So many of us working in the offshore arena during the last four decades have constantly been challenged by the deceptive complexity of moorings. What to the casual observer looks like a simple structural line element, has, packed within it, every possibly complexity in concept (catenary, semi-taut, taut), material (chain, steel wire, fiber), and analysis (time domain, frequency domain, hybrid, extreme, fatigue, creep) to challenge the designer. From rules of thumb, we have moved to highly complex, precise and accurate analysis accounting for multiple physical processes in ultradeep waters reaching 3 km. In terms of equipment, the offshore industry has accelerated the move from simple mooring equipment from three millennia of shipping history to the most ingenious anchors and winches.
The book comes at a critical juncture in the energy transition. In the last nearly three-quarter century of offshore hydrocarbon exploration and production, electricity from renewable energy sources has gone from nearly zero to 25% of world production. A rapidly increasing contributor to that is offshore wind. While offshore wind energy has made a major impact in Europe using fixed substructures, its global impact will only come with moored floating offshore wind in the Americas and Asia, in deeper waters. It is therefore gratifying to see that the authors have addressed this topic in a specific chapter in this book. This work will go towards bridging the knowledge transition between offshore oil and gas and offshore wind.
