This paper mainly involves: (a) description and analysis of a mooring model experiment;(b) derivation of static equilibrium equations for a moored ship subjected to wind, current and waves; (c) solution of mo.oring equations with the Monte Carlo method; (d) qualitative analysis of effects of pier piles on mooring line forces. Special emphasis is placed on the derivation ofstatic equilibrium equations, solution method and the mooring model experiment.展开更多
