Percent Elongation in Mooring Line Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Percent Elongation in a Mooring Line = 100*(Elongation in the Mooring Line/Length of Mooring Line)
ε_m = 100*(Δl_η'/ln)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Percent Elongation in a Mooring Line - Percent Elongation in a Mooring Line is defined as a percentage of change in length at predefined loads.
Elongation in the Mooring Line - (Measured in Meter) - Elongation in the Mooring Line refers to the extent to which a mooring line, which secures a vessel or floating structure to a fixed point, stretches under tension.
Length of Mooring Line - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Mooring Line refers to the total distance from the point where the line is secured to a floating or fixed structure to the point where it is anchored to the seabed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Elongation in the Mooring Line: 4.99 Meter --> 4.99 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Mooring Line: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ε_m = 100*(Δl_η'/ln) --> 100*(4.99/10)

Evaluating ... ...

ε_m = 49.9

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

49.9 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

49.9 <-- Percent Elongation in a Mooring Line

Effective Spring Constant given Undamped Natural Period

Go Effective Spring Constant = ((2*pi)^2*Virtual Mass of the Ship)/Undamped Natural Period of a Vessel^2

Virtual Mass of Vessel given Undamped Natural Period

Go Virtual Mass of the Ship = (Undamped Natural Period of a Vessel^2*Effective Spring Constant)/(2*pi)^2

What are Ocean Moorings?

A mooring in oceanography is a collection of devices connected to a wire and anchored on the sea floor. It is the Eulerian way of measuring ocean currents, since a mooring is stationary at a fixed location. In contrast to that, the Lagrangian way measures the motion of an oceanographic drifter, the Lagrangian drifter
