Guedes Soares, C., Pascoal, R., Huang, S. and N. Barltrop (2005) , “Equivalent Force Model for the Effect of Mooring Systems on the Horizontal Motions”, Applied Ocean Research, Vol. 27, pp. 165-172

In this work a methodology is proposed to find a simplified model for mooring arrangements. The parameters of the equivalent mooring line are determined by an identification procedure that is excited by a signal of the type Schroeder phase multi-sine. The resulting function is easily implemented into existing codes and in some applications aims to replace quasi-static solutions.
