Model of Bio-Colonisation on Mooring Lines: Updating Strategy Based on a Static Qualifying Sea State for Floating Wind Turbines

Bio-colonisation affects the ageing of materials and the behaviour of offshore structures. Mooring systems and umbilicals belong to the family of slender bodies which are components sensitive to bio-colonisation because of a change of dynamic behaviour due to shape, roughness and mass modifications....
