Abstract

The design of the mooring system is to determine the length of chain type, quality and weight of the ball, the tilt angle of the buoy and draught of the swimming area and drums as small as possible. In this paper, the optimal design scheme of mooring system is presented based on mechanical analysis. Firstly, the mechanical model of mooring system is given, and the relationship between the variables in mooring system is found through the establishment of static equilibrium equations and geometric constraints. Then the iterative algorithm is used to solve the equation: Through a given depth, gradually solve each equation, the vertical depth can be calculated in the whole system, if the depth close to the given value, the iteration stops, otherwise continue the iteration. Using the iterative algorithm to repeat this process, we can obtain the draught of the buoy, drum tilt and swimming radius under different wind speed.
