| Abstract | In this paper a non linear viscoelastic model governed by fractional derivatives is presented for modeling the in-service behavior of polyester mooring lines. In the formulation an iterative approach utilizing the Gauss-Newton minimization algorithm in conjunction with the catenary equations used to determine the static modulus of elasticity and the effective length of polyester mooring lines corresponding to calm sea conditions. Upon establishing the accuracy of the static modulus via comparison with field data, the catenary equations and the offshore platform’s position versus time are used to identify the polyester strain under developed-sea conditions. In this manner, time histories of stress and strain for polyester ropes in service conditions are obtained. Then, a non linear viscoelastic model involving fractional derivative terms is used to capture the in service polyester line behavior. For this, the tension of the proposed model corresponding to the actual polyester strain is compared at each time step to the tension obtained from the field data. Finally, the parameters of the proposed model are derived by minimizing the error in the least-squares sense over a large number of data points using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The numerically derived force-strain relationship is found to be in reasonable agreement with supplementary field and laboratory experimental data, the field data pertain to an offshore structure moored in position using polyester mooring lines operated in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricane Katrina (August of 2005). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
