Abstract: Abstract Spar, tension leg platform, and semi-submersibles use heave plates to reduce heave response by increasing heave damping and added mass. Conventional practice is to use a linear damping ratio, which is typically obtained from… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Damping elements are used in ships and offshore structures as response reduction devices for maintaining the motion response within acceptable limits. The design of these elements relies on a combination of empirical approach and… read more here.
