Wind-induced response of a tension leg platform. S. Ahmad, N. Islam and A. Ali. J. Wind Engng. Indust. Aerodynamics, December 1997, 72 (complete), 225--240.
Dynamic response studies of a TLP have been carried out in time domain to investigate the influence of nonlinearities due to hydrodynamic drag force, variable cable tension, variable submergence, long excursions and fluctuating wind together with the effect of coupling. The sea state is characterized by Pierson Moskovitz spectrum while fluctuating wind has been estimated using Emil Simiu's spectrum which is meant for the compliant offshore structure. Random wind and waves are modelled by Monte Carlo simulation. Power spectral density functions are plotted to highlight the wind-induced dynamic response of the structure. 6 refs.
