Mathematical Modelling of Bonded Marine Hoses for Single Point Mooring (SPM) Systems, with Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) Buoy Application—A Review

The application of mathematical analysis has been an essential tool applied on Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) buoys, Wave Energy Converters (WEC), point absorber and various single mooring (SPM) systems. This enables having models for bonded marine hoses SPM systems with CALM which are obviously a requisite the techno-economic design operation these floating structures. Hose (HM) (MM) utilized variety applications such as SPARs, Semisubmersibles, WECs buoys. buoys goal this review is to address subject from modeling operational views. To correctly reproduce behavior hoses, including nonlinear dynamics, study their performance, accurate required. paper gives overview statics dynamics offshore/marine hoses. reviews hose conducted based theoretical, numerical, experimental investigations. also covers challenges encountered in installation, connection, hang-off operations. State-of-the-art, developments recent innovations SURP (subsea umbilicals, risers, pipelines) presented. Finally, details relevant materials that implementations. Some conclusions recommendations presented review.
