A Simplified Numerical Method for the Design and Analysis of FPSO Platform Brackets Subjected to Operational Conditions

<b> </b>The present work develops a simplified computational methodology to predict brackets’ mechanical behavior to support mooring systems’ fairleads under maximum environmental loads. The methodology consists of estimating environmental loads in Campos’s basin (Brazil) using standards...
