An experimental investigation on the dynamic behaviour of a typical internal turret moored FPSO system with a turret located at midships position is reported. A 1:100 scale model of 140000t DWT turret moored FPSO system was tested under regular waves for three operating conditions i.e. 40%DWT, 70%DWT and 100%DWT in a 2m wide wave flume at a water depth of 1m for the wave frequencies from 0.55Hz to 1.25Hz in steps of 0.04Hz. The motions were measured by rotary type potentiometers and specially ring type load cells were used to measure the mooring forces. The model tests results are analysed and presented with discussions in this paper.

A comprehensive analytical investigation of the dynamic response of a general planar kinematic chain comprising an assemblage of articulating interconnected rigid-bodies with bearing clearances in the revolute joints is presented. The equations governing the dynamical behavior of this general mechanical system are established by incorporating a four-mode model of the phenomenological behavior of the principal elements of each revolute joint into the generalized form of Lagrange’s equations. The proposed methodology is then employed to predict the dynamic behavior of a planar slider-crank mechanism with radial clearance in the gudgeon-pin joint prior to comparing these theoretical predictions with the corresponding response-data from a complementary experimental investigation.
