Enhancement of Performance of Semi-Submersible Behaviour on Heave Motion by Adding Heave Plates
This paper presents the results from a study on the enhancement of the heave performance of a semi-submersible in deepwater by adding heave plates. Heave motion Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of a conventional semi-submersibles is first obtained through the construction of transfer functions and...
