Study of Snap Loads for Idealized Mooring Configurations with a Buoy, Inextensible and Elastic Cable Combinations for the Multi-Float M4 Wave Energy Converter

There has been considerable modelling and wave basin validation of the multi-mode, multi-float, moored wave energy converter M4. The 6 float (2 power take off) (PTO) configuration is considered here with mooring from a buoy with light inextensible cables. Large mean mooring forces and very large pea...
