A comparative analysis of the formation and development of the Neo-Moorish style in the architecture and interiors of France and Russia in the 19th century is presented in the article. How did the interest in studying the architecture of medieval Moors form in these countries? What are the main differences and similarities in the development of the Neo-Moorish style in Russia and France? In the 19th century, the first manifestations of the oriental theme appeared to a large extent owing to the work of writers and artists. The mysterious world of the East became a rich source of new plots, palette, exotic customs, and architectural forms. In parallel with literature and painting, the oriental theme was developing in architecture and interior design, and it would later flourish in copying the Moorish style. Among the monuments of medieval Moors, the Alhambra Palace, built in the Emirate of Granada in the period from the 13th to the 15th centuries, became an architectural model for European architects. The French world exhibitions, on which architectural and historical pavilions were exhibited, were a significant source of the proliferation of the Neo-Moorish style in Europe. Russian architects such as Paul Notbek and Carl Rachau also made a significant contribution to the study of the Alhambra. Recognized both in Russia and in Europe, the results of their work allowed St. Petersburg architects to have original samples of Moorish architecture and to develop this style in many St. Petersburg interiors with a high degree of skill of their work during the peak of historicism development. In the second half of the 19th century, the Moorish style spread throughout Europe and became an international historical oriental style. In each country, borrowings showed their own characteristics and developmental features due to cultural, political, and geographical influence. In France, the Moorish style was actively borrowed not only for interior decoration but also in the construction of public and commercial buildings such as casinos, cafes, thermal stations. In Russia, the Moorish style was used mainly in palaces and mansions of the highest nobility and the bourgeoisie. In France, the Mauresque style took on various forms and had different sources, whereas in Russia it referred mainly to the historical examples of the Alhambra. Thus, France and Russia participated in the pan-European trend of the Neo-Moorish style; however, each country has developed its own variation of this oriental style of the period of historicism.

The article argues that R. T. Gonorsky made his translations of two Spanish Moorish romances (1816) from the Spanish originals reproduced in the fi fth volume of I. I. Eschenburg’s anthology Beispielsammlung zur Theorie und Literatur der schönen Wissenschaften (1788-94). This fact confirms K. S. Korkonosenko’s hypothesis that Gonorsky’s translations were the earliest translations of Spanish poetry into Russian made directly from the originals. It is important that, in his anthology, Eschenburg used the texts found in the book of ballads and popular songs The Reliques of Ancient English (1765) edited by Bishop Thomas Percy. Following Percy’s edition, the Spanish romance «Río verde, río verde...» was published (e. g. in Eschenburg’s anthology, 1790) and translated (e. g. in J. G. Herder’s Volkslieder, 1778) without the six lines that Percy considered superfluous. Gonorsky also used this abbreviated version of the romance.

Full textAbstract:
Legends and tales of Islamic Granada were among the most frequently re-elaborated exotic subjects in British Romantic literature. A popular theme in the early decades of the nineteenth century, Spanish Orientalism attracted both famous writers such as Lord Byron, Joanna Baillie, Washington Irving, Felicia Hemans or Letitia Landon, and less familiar ones such as Lord Porchester, George Moir and Lady Dacre. This essay concentrates on one component of the myth of Granada which enjoyed great diffusion in Romantic-period literature, the tale of the Moor's Last Sigh and the tears shed by the last Muslim monarch on leaving his capital forever after the Christian conquest in 1492. The aim is to illustrate how, in migrating from its original context, this tale comes to signify and emblematize issues of gender and notions of history as progress specific to British culture. The poetic texts examined here employ the Spanish-Orientalist myth to elaborate ideas of masculinity and femininity, as well as reflections on power and its extinction, the fall of empires and the emergence of new states. Thus King Boabdil's tears were exotically popular also because they were removed from their original meaning and import, and refashioned into vehicles for ideological concerns proper to British Romantic-period culture

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses the filtering of Shakespeare’s The Tempest (1611) in the Restoration drama repertoire, showing the Restoration revision of the Shakespearean stereotypical delineation of the ‘half-moor’ Caliban in the light of Restoration England’s complex relations of admiration and trepidation with regard to the Muslim Moors and Turks. Dryden-Davenant’s The Tempest or The Enchanted Island (1667) complicates the figures of Caliban and Sycorax as Muslim Moorish friends or foes and possible subjects of Charles II’s English Tangier on the Barbary coast. Dryden-Davenant’s The Enchanted Island makes historical parallels and allusions to Charles II’s marriage to the Portuguese Catherine of Braganza and the English possession of Tangier as a part of the marriage dowry.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to relocate Shakespeare’s Othello the Moor in the cultural roots of Moorish Spain, arguing that he is not a Moor in the inclusionary, monolithic sense of the term, but a diasporic Iberian finding refuge in fifteenth–sixteenth-century Venice. It seeks to contextualise Shakespeare’s play by setting the Othello/Iago binary as an epitomisation of the Spanish inquisition. Giving Othello, the Moor of Venice an allegorical reading against its historical background facilitates better perception of the play’s motivational dynamics: why a Moor? And why such extreme enmity? To substantiate the argument, textual and contextual factors, such as characters’ appellations and the Moorish refugee’s ‘royal siege’, are viewed from a different perspective, factors designed to direct the mind towards specific realities, already visible to the playwright’s audience.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In Claude McKay’s Romance in Marseille, the entanglement of Spain and Morocco emerges through the diasporic figure of Aslima, the Moroccan sex worker. This essay examines McKay’s Maurophilia, which he circuitously refers to as “Afro-Orientalism” in his various writings. Maurophilia not only foregrounds Aslima’s associations with Spain and Morocco but also highlights McKay’s engagement with transhistorical Mediterranean diasporas, including the intra-African slave trade and Iberian Moriscos and conversos settling in North Africa following the Reconquista. This essay argues that while Aslima’s associations with Moorish-Iberian performance styles influence McKay’s modernist poetics and radical aspirations for a global pandiasporic Black alliance, Romance in Marseille ultimately forecloses the prospect of a pan-Mediterranean, Black Atlantic globalism because of contradictions of gender and religion.

AbstractIn ethnic literature, the historical and cultural past constantly haunt the present, producing contemporary narratives which emphasize how the heritage plays an essential role in preserving ethnic identity. From a trans-historical perspective, Arab American women’s narratives tend to turn the history of Al-Andalus (Medieval Moorish Spain) into cultural memory as a way of coping with the threats to their existence in the United States, particularly post-9/11, as well as of resisting the hegemonic culture. The aim of this paper is to investigate how Al-Andalus is intended to be seen as a construct of cultural memory and how this site of memory has the power to reshape individual and collective identity.

Full textAbstract:
Irving's politically pious persona in The Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada (1829), "Fray Agapida," indicts Irving's own exemplification of the postcolonial American literary sanctification of discovery, conquest, and colonization presented in The Life and Voyages of Columbus (1828). Through his satire of Agapida, Irving undermines the nationalistic and religious grounds upon which both the Conquest of Granada was most often justified and his biography of Columbus was commissioned to further. Irving links the reconquest of Moorish Granada, Columbus's voyages, the Inquisition, and the Crusades to Irving's satire of contemporary acts of literary, mercantile, and political imperialism in A History of New York. Instead of being a writer absorbed in his own romantic fantasies, in The Chronicle Irving attacks the casuistic use of religion, nobility, and enlightenment to sanctify conquest and usurpation. The conflict indicated by Irving's satire of self- and nation-fashioning reflects many of the United State's own struggles to establish a postcolonial identity.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Portugueses Multidisciplinares apresentada à Universidade AbertaLendas, mitos e contos acompanham a humanidade desde sempre, pois encerram uma função cosmogónica e explicam fenómenos para os quais o homem comum não consegue dar explicação. Na sua migração, estas narrativas fundem-se com as singularidades das zonas por onde viajam. Sofrem as transformações que os narradores, através de um processo oral, lhes vão conferindo. Decorrente da sua origem humilde, a literatura oral tradicional foi, durante muito tempo, entendida como inferior. Em Portugal, como por toda a Europa, só com o Romantismo se assiste a um revivalismo literário destas narrativas, na medida em que contêm um apelo intrínseco às origens, enaltecendo assim o espírito patriótico. Surgem, então, vários autores que coligem lendas e contos populares portugueses. Neste âmbito, a presente dissertação, " Mouras, Mouros e Mourinhos Encantados em Lendas do Norte e Sul de Portugal", tem por base um estudo comparativo de lendas nortenhas e sulistas com a finalidade de detetar diferenças e/ou semelhanças no que concerne estas figuras encantadas, consoante as zonas em que se inserem. Com este intuito, analisamos um corpus representativo, mas limitado, pois seria impossível o estudo de um maior número de textos pela limitação que uma tese de mestrado implica. Desta investigação resulta uma categorização das várias características das mouras, mouros e mourinhos, de acordo com as suas ações, atitudes, modo como se apresentam perante o ser humano, preferência por determinados locais, manifestações em horas consideradas do “entreaberto”, entre muitas outras particularidades. Usualmente, é atribuído maior destaque às mouras, pelo que considerámos particularmente interessante estudar simultaneamente os mouros e mourinhos. Constatámos a evidência de muitas diferenças, mas igualmente algumas semelhanças. No que respeita aos mouros, salienta-se a distinção entre "mouros históricos" e "mouros míticos". Relativamente às mouras, o seu papel de encantada, mas também de sedutora ou ainda de vítima do encantamento paterno. Já os mourinhos, afiguram-se escassos a norte, mas abundantes a sul, com a peculiaridade de surgirem sempre de barrete encarnado. Numa perspetiva histórica, em que os mouros são sinónimo de muçulmanos e, portanto, infiéis, maus e inimigos dos cristãos, estes possuem um vasto repertório de hábitos que não coincidem com os das populações católicas. Como tal, despertam nestas a curiosidade e é-lhes atribuído um sem número de feitos, riquezas, poderes que em tudo se assemelham ao contacto com o sobrenatural. Ao surgirem encantados, nomeadamente as mouras e mourinhos, visto que os mouros raramente ocorrem nessa condição, acabam por encarnar a manifestação do desconhecido junto das populações, mas também a vontade do contacto com o outro mundo e a esperança de que, de algum modo, a vida se prolongue além da morte. Todavia, são muitas as situações em que aos mouros é associada a ideia do “outro” independentemente da nacionalidade que possam ter. Esta alteridade reflete a memória histórica das populações, remetendo para todos os que passaram pelas povoações e comunidades enquanto intrusos, aos quais não é reconhecida uma verdadeira identidade ou pertença a esses grupos.
Legends, folktales and myths have always walked along with mankind because they have a cosmogonic function and try to explain certain phenomenon to which the human being cannot find a suitable and understandable explanation. In their migration, these narratives tend to assume the characteristics of the places where they travel. Once they are told orally by different narrators, these legends face changes and acquire different values as well. As a result of its humble origin, oral traditional literature has been, for a long time, understood as unimportant. However, the romantic period brings along a revival of this kind of narratives. At that time, they were regarded as a way of going back to the origins praising patriotic values. The result is the gathering of many folktales by numerous and different Portuguese writers. Within this scope, our study titled “Enchanted Moorish maids, Moors and Moorish children in legends of the north and south of Portugal” focuses on a comparative study of texts, enabling the detection of any potential differences as well as similarities between the two areas of the country as far as these legends are concerned. Bearing in mind this purpose, we study a limited representative corpus, since it would be completely impossible to analyze a larger number of texts in a Master thesis. This research results in a classification of the various characteristic of the Moors, Moorish maiden and Moorish children as far as their behavior is concerned, but also how they appear in the presence of the human being as well as the time these characters choose to contact the mortals and many other peculiarities. Usually, it is given greater prominence to the Moorish maiden. Therefore, we considered very interesting to study simultaneously, the Moors and Moorish children. We acknowledged the evidence of many differences regarding these enchanted figures of the two areas of the country, but some similarities too. The duality of the historical Moors and the mythological ones is obvious. Regarding the Moorish maiden, we stress her role as an enchanted and charmed character but also the fact that she sometimes is shown as a victim of paternal enchantment. As regards the Moorish children, scarcely ever we found them in the north of Portugal. On the contrary, in the south there are many and always showing up wearing a red bonnet. From a historical point of view, in which the Moors are seen as Muslims and thus faithless and enemies of the Christians, they have different customs that do not match with those of the catholic communities. Probably, that is the reason why the populations have such a curiosity towards the Moors and assign them a vast number of deeds, richness and magical powers. The Moorish maiden and Moorish children are enchanted (the Moors seldom are) because they represent the unknown, but also the will to contact the beyond and the hope that somehow life extends after death. Nevertheless, many are the circumstances in which the Moors are connected with “the other”. This otherness reflects the historical memory of the populations, referring to all the ancient people seen as intruders but not acknowledged with a real identity or belonging to any community.

In this Dissertation I examine a group of novels by Juan Goytisolo, Magdalena Lasala, Angeles de Irisarri and Lourdes Ortiz which re-interpret the Moorish presence in the Spanish past. Informed by New Historicism and Post-colonial theory, my Dissertation examines the long history of intertexts that narrate the Conquest of Spain by the Moors in the form of the 'Loss of Spain' legend and the uses recent novels make of the Reconquest as a negotiation between Arab and Christian identity. The symbolic return of the repressed self in the form of a massive wave of immigrant Moroccan workers becomes the framework for a recent boom in narratives that reconstruct Spanish national identity as multiple and heterogeneous The first chapter analyzes the legend of the 'Loss of Spain,' one of the most provocative metaphors that were produced to explain Spain's relationship with its 'others.' The different versions of this legend, which expand throughout Spanish literary history, continuously re-interpret the meaning of this foundational myth. In the second chapter I read Goytisolo's Don Julian as an extremely subversive, although intensely problematic, reinterpretation of the legend. Goytisolo, following Americo Castro, emphasizes the importance of Spain's Arab past, embracing it through an intensive use of language, as defined by Deleuze and Guattari. Don Julian also defies the hegemonic centers of Spanish culture, performing a Derridean trespassing of discursive and geographical frontiers Chapters Three and Four analyze contemporary readings of the Reconquest in the form of novels that problematize, as does Hayden White, the notions of history and fiction as they narrate the lives of Medieval Spanish Women. The Trip of the Queen of Irisarri and Moorish and Christian Women of Irisarri and Lasala show the ambivalence that characterizes discourses of cultural difference, following the notion of stereotype of Homi Bhabha. Ortiz's Urraca and Irisarri's Queen Urraca , in the Fourth Chapter, establish the difficulties of narrating the life of a woman who is mother, wife, and Queen. These novels question Spain's official history of the Reconquest, as well as Franquist discourse on national unity, revealing Spain to be a hybrid and heterogeneous nationacase@tulane.edu

Full textAbstract:
Don Juan Manuel’s laudatory portrayal of Saladin, the Muslim Sultan of Babylon, in Exempla 25 and 50 of El Conde Lucanor presents an interesting paradox, particularly when considering that the fourteenth-century text was intended as moral instruction for a Christian audience. This report addresses this paradox by determining Saladin’s placement within Juan Manuel’s moral and spiritual philosophy through textual and comparative character analyses. The first section applies Victor Turner’s social drama theory in a textual analysis of Exempla 25 and 50 to establish Juan Manuel’s representation of Saladin as a triumphant figure, capable of meeting and overcoming challenges to his honor and virtue. The second section applies M. M. Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism to engage in a closer examination of Saladin’s “voice” in relation to other characters of Juan Manuel’s exempla for the purpose of revealing the ambiguities and finer intricacies of Saladin’s character. These analyses serve to raise and address paradoxical questions relating to Juan Manuel’s presentation of Saladin as both a Muslim adversary and friend of Christendom.text

Full textAbstract:
The ‘bed-trick’) was a pervasive plot device in prose fiction and other forms of Renaissance literature but appeared late as a device in English drama. The arrival and proliferation of the bed-trick can be connected to the emergence of capitalism as a system founded on a basic structure of deception by means of substitution in an increasingly aggressive commodity exchange market. This chapter discusses those plays in which the substituted lover is a Moor. In each of these plays with a Moorish woman substitute, we encounter the Moor as placeholder, a degraded substitute and commodity, the monstrous and demonized version of what women had become in bourgeois marriage. By looking at erotic trickery, at dangerous or dubious economic transactions, and religious or racial instability in Elizabethan and Early Stuart plays, we can begin to glimpse a broad pattern, one in which the fundamental anxieties and instabilities produced by new economic practices in early modern England were projected into stage actions involving rape, theft, swindles and racial or religious infidelity.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 begins with the Turkish ambassador’s visit to the ambitious but foolish bourgeois Monsieur Jourdain in Molière’s 1670 play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, triggering both its denouement and a generic shift from comedic drama to musical ballet. The readings of Shakespeare’s Henry VIII and Calderón’s Constant Prince that follow explore the intersection between the plot motif in which a domestic location or closed space is intruded upon by a diplomatic figure, and the generic multiplicity of early modern drama. It argues that such spatial and generic transitions mediate the tension between domestic, national, and international spaces posed by an increasingly international political culture. Dramatic texts register the intrusiveness of the diplomatic outsider through moments of generic multiplicity, where pastoral interrupts historical tragedy or where Moorish romance intersects with the literature of martyrdom. Drama continually asks us to reflect on the constitution of space, and of who is ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ of a particular community. When established spatial and generic boundaries are transgressed those politics are especially legible: at the centre of European dramatic literature is a confrontational politics worked out at the level of form. Finally the chapter examines the modern novel, in which early modern tensions between international and national political spaces are reworked as a contrast between some larger political world and the discrete private space of the home. For Proust, the nostalgia-laden figure of the diplomat brings into that private space from his early modern past the very possibility of literature.

Examines the reception of black US writing in Spain in order to contextualize and defamiliarize it as literatura negra norte-americana. By studying the translations, anthologies, and bilingual Spanish-English texts in which works by Hughes and Claude McKay appeared alongside works by leading figures of the Afro-Caribbean negrismo movement (Nicolás Guillén and Emilio Ballagas), this chapter reveals the ways in which black diasporic writing was given a unique new genealogy. Moving away from the Francophone négritude movement and reducing Africa to a source of a remote cultural past, figures like Ballagas collaborated with Spanish critics like Guillermo de Torre to reinterpret contemporary black writing as produced distinctly by the crossings of the US and Spanish empires. US black writing thus illuminated and complicated Spain’s racial past. Hughes, in turn, became for Spaniards and Spanish Americans alike the poet of an uncertain vision of blackness and leftist revolution. This vision was adopted by the Spanish Republicans during the civil war, just as they were paradoxically purging any notion of Moorish “blackness” or Africanism from their own political identity—something that Hughes himself engaged when he translated their poems on “Moorish traitors.”

The castle of San Luis (Estepona Málaga): Origin and evolution of a bastion fort. Sixteenth to twenty-first centuriesThe results of the investigation prior to the excavation work in the Castle of San Luis, in Estepona (Málaga, Spain) are presented. It is a coastal fortress built in the last quarter of the sixteenth century, in the context of the reorganisation of the defense of the western coast of Malaga after the Moorish rebellion of 1568. After analysing the available literature, we propose that it was designed by the Engineer Juan Ambrosio Malgrá, Maestro Mayor de obras del Reino de Granada. The Castle of San Luis is devised as an add-on construction on the southern front of the walls of Islamic origin, dominating the natural anchorage of the Rada beach. Its most prominent elements are three bastions, two of them with casemates, and a large main square. However, various defects in the design and execution of the works, added to the insufficient provision of artillery and garrison, affected the effectiveness of the fortification throughout its history. In the middle of the eighteenth century, part of the Castle of San Luis is restructured as a cannons’ battery. Following the damage caused by the Lisbon Earthquake, in 1755, and by the French and English blastings in 1812, during the second half of the nineteenth century much of the castle disappears, leaving only the cannons’ battery, which is incorporated as a courtyard in height as an add-on to a house built at the end of the nineteenth century. At present, after several decades of abandonment, excavation works have been undertaken on the remains of the battery, after which the site will be prepared to be used as a museum.

There are a number of design challenges facing mooring systems of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platforms in an offshore environment. Some unique aspects of the FOWT industry should be considered when examining applicability of established offshore mooring practices. Important among these are: economy and cost effectiveness; light weight minimal platforms; and water depths ranging from 50–300 m. A lighter displacement platform in shallow water, supported by lines with light to moderate pre-tension can result in a higher probability of slack line events and hence snap loads during re-engagement. Such loads can result in shock on the line material and considerably reduce the fatigue life. Such events have the potential to occur in various sea states, and not necessarily limited to extreme conditions. These conditions will be dependent on structure resonant motions, which are influenced by wind loads and moments, wave conditions and mooring line properties. Model tests of typical concepts for FOWT reported in literature have shown occasional slack line episodes. This paper is a review of literature on snap load occurrence in marine applications, including lifting and lowering operations, ROV and diving bell operations. This paper presents a case study of a FOWT. Special focus is on mooring systems which are affected by impact load conditions. Criteria are reviewed and consequences are documented.

A critical review of literature on the mooring forces on the berthed ship together with the passing vessel effects indicates limited data, thus requiring additional studies. Four methods have been found in the literature namely (a) Seelig’s, (b) Flory’s, (c) Kreibel’s, and (d) Modified Seelig’s methods. A comprehensive review and comparison of existing methods has been carried out to verify the applicability of each method to certain conditions and also to establish the parameters for study. It has been found that displacement of the vessels, separation distance between the vessels and velocity of the passing vessel greatly influence the passing vessel forces on moored ship. The software OPTIMOOR has been used to verify Flory’s and Seelig’s methods with the experimental data of Remery and also to study the combined effect of environmental loads and passing vessel effects on mooring lines. The results indicate that the interaction of waves and passing vessel effects are too onerous. Conclusions have been arrived based on the results that for separation distance of 100 m or less between vessels has a greater influence on mooring line forces, leading to breakage of lines.

Full textAbstract:
Wave motions from vessels moored in ports open to the sea impact the operability of loading operations, and should be assessed as part of any port (re)development plan. When analyzing vessels moored by a quay-side, time domain simulations may show numeric instabilities resulting in unreliable outcomes. The origin of the numerical instability might lie in the hydrodynamic added mass and wave radiation damping typically calculated using potential flow methods. For certain frequencies, these tend to give negative values. This negative added mass is a known phenomenon in the industry. Combined with negative damping, it is believed to cause instability in non-linear (coupled) time domain simulations. In these cases, the vessel seems to generate energy rather than dissipate it. As such, the simulations are unlikely to realistically represent real-life scenarios. This paper describes an engineering method to mitigate numerical instability and derive a working solution to address the operability of loading a vessel subject to wave loading at a quay-side. The work covers a literature study into negative added mass and damping caused by shallow water and vicinity of objects such as a vertical wall. This is followed by an engineering study using 3D diffraction and time domain software.

Flow around a solid cylinder is numerically simulated with allowance of the movement of the cylinder by the lattice Boltzmann method. The drag force of the fixed cylinder is in good comparison with the literature showing that the fluid force acting on the cylinder is accurately estimated in the computation. It is confirmed that as the body oscillates, the drag and lift forces increases and decreases, respectively. By changing the mooring tension, the locked-in phenomenon and the nonlinear interaction between the vortex-shedding and the mooring system are found.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the impact of friction models on mooring line simulations. Seabed friction can play an important role in the determination of mooring loads of slack-moored floating offshore wind turbines. Most mooring models include a relatively simple seabed friction formulation, if any, and little examination of their accuracy is available in literature. Current implementations typically represent seabed contact as coulombic friction with ramping near zero velocity to mitigate instability in the numerical time integration. To assess the impact of this friction model’s use, we compare it against a more sophisticated friction model. This model differentiates between static and kinetic friction, where the former is dependent upon the forces acting on the line and the latter is a function of seabed’s normal response. Both friction models have been implemented into the MoorDyn mooring dynamics simulator and tested under a set of prescribed scenarios including snap loads and oscillatory motion, where the fairlead of a mooring line was driven along both linear and circular paths. Additionally, coupled floating wind turbine simulations using the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible show how the friction models affect the platform global response and the extreme and fatigue mooring loads. The results highlight practical differences between the models in terms of both loads prediction and simulation stability/consistency.

Offshore floating wind turbines (OFWT) are supported by the flexible mooring systems subjected to nonlinear hydrodynamic wave and current forces. Depending on the floater type and environmental condition, the mooring responses can have a significant impact on the overall dynamic performance of OFWT. To evaluate the dynamic responses of OFWT, both uncoupled (quasi-static) and coupled (dynamic) mooring models have been proposed in the literature and in practice based on the use of the well-known FAST software and the FAST-Orcaflex package, respectively. This paper will investigate and compare the dynamics of the OFWT and the mooring lines using uncoupled vs coupled models, based on the OC3-Hywind Spar platform supporting the 5MW wind turbines developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Preliminary numerical studies in several load cases reveal substantial differences in the OFWT and mooring dynamics obtained by the two approaches, e.g. under regular and irregular waves. The levels of differences are reported, and the comparisons with available experimental results are also made to validate the model analyses and outcomes. The importance of mooring line dynamics and their contributions to the overall 6-DOF responses of OFWT are highlighted which should be recognised in the analysis and optimization design.

Synthetic fiber ropes constructed of polyester are providing an important new technology for mooring deep-water drilling and production platforms. Considerable effort is being directed toward advancing and qualifying this enabling and cost-effective technology. To date, synthetic fiber mooring ropes have been successfully deployed in Brazil and they have seen limited service in the Gulf of Mexico. Synthetic fiber mooring ropes have high strength-to-weight ratios and possess adequate stiffness, but they are much more susceptible to damage than their steel counterparts. Future safe deployment of synthetic fiber mooring ropes would be significantly enhanced if a reliable technique were available to monitor the performance of the ropes in service and thus provide an early warning of the loss of structural integrity. Test data in the open literature indicates that the strain in the rope at failure is essentially a constant independent of load path or history. Measurement of the accumulated strain in the rope should thus provide a reliable benchmark with which to estimate the remaining life and establish criteria for rope recertification or retirement. This paper discusses the results of research and development activities aimed at developing a reliable, robust method for monitoring strain in braided and twisted strand Synthetic Fiber Mooring Ropes [1]. The strain transducer is a polymeric optical fiber, integrated into the mooring rope and interrogated with Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) to measure changes in its length as the optical fiber and rope are stressed. The method provides a direct measurement of large axial strains. Strains measured in polymeric optical fibers exhibit good one-to-one correlation with applied strains within the test range studied (10% or less, typically). The integrated polymeric optical fiber has been shown to withstand large numbers of repeated cycles to high strains without failure and to accurately track the hysteresis exhibited by polyester rope. Results are reported for tests conducted with polymeric optical fibers integrated into typical mooring rope elements.

Abstract Chains are extensively used in the Oil and Gas industry for mooring vessels or floating platforms, both for temporary and long-term moorings. Moreover, recently they found a new application in the mooring of floating wind turbines. The integrity of mooring systems is of great importance for both industries. Failure Records [1]–[2] indicate that fatigue of mooring chains is one of the main causes of failure, and therefore their lifetime prediction represents an important challenge for industry. Chains are intended to work under Tension Loading, however, anomalous loading modes such as Out-of-Plane Bending (OPB) or Twisting can appear. For example, OPB caught the attention of engineers after the Girassol incident; where it was identified as the main cause of failure of several chain links eight months after the installation [3]. Since this failure, OPB has attracted the attention of several research programs and multiple publications can be found in the literature (For example, [4]–[5]). Twist may occur during the installation of a chain or during service due to torque generated in the near-by elements of the mooring (for example wire cables). This paper presents a computational fatigue assessment of mooring chains working in twisted conditions. It is based on a two steps analysis: a mechanical and a fatigue analysis. The mechanical analysis accounts for the initial residual stress state of the chain after manufacturing and subsequent proof loading. The result is the stabilized cycle of the multiaxial stress field, which is obtained through an elastic-plastic three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Then, the fatigue analysis is performed to predict the failure location and determine the lifetime. The predicted failure location has shown good agreement with fatigue cracks found in recovered chain links in the North Sea after more than 15 years of service.

Full textAbstract:
The design methodology for mooring systems for a spar buoy wind turbine considers the influence of extreme events and wind/wave misalignments occurring in its lifetime. Therefore, the variety of wind and wave directions affects over the seakeeping and as a result the evaluation of the maxima loads acting on the spar-buoy wind turbine. In the present paper, the importance of wind/wave misalignments on the dynamic response of spar-type floating wind turbine [1] is investigated. Based on standards, International Electrotechnical Commission IEC and Det Norske Veritas DNV the design of position moorings should be carried out under extreme wind/wave loads, taking into account their misalignments with respect to the structure. In particular, DNV standard, in ‘Position mooring’ recommendations, specifies in the load cases definition, if site specific data is not available, to consider non-collinear environment to have wave towards the unit’s bow (0°) and wind 30° relative to the waves. In IEC standards, the misalignment of the wind and wave directions shall be considered to design offshore wind turbines and calculate the loads acting on the support structure. Ultimate Limit State (ULS) analyses of the OC3-Hywind spar buoy wind turbine are conducted through FAST code, a certified nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s). This software was developed for use in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Offshore Code Comparison Collaborative (OC3) project, and supports NREL’s offshore 5-MW baseline turbine. In order to assess the effects of misaligned wind and wave, different wind directions are chosen, maintaining the wave loads perpendicular to the structure. Stochastic, full-fields, turbulence simulator Turbsim is used to simulate the 1-h turbulent wind field. The scope of the work is to investigate the effects of wind/wave misalignments on the station-keeping system of spar buoy wind turbine. Results are presented in terms of global maxima determined through mean up-crossing with moving average, which, then, are modelled by a Weibull distribution. Finally, extreme values are estimated depending on global maxima and fitted on Gumbel distribution. The Most Probable Maximum value of mooring line tensions is found to be influenced by the wind/wave misalignments. The present paper is organized as follows. Section ‘Introduction’, based on a literature study, gives useful information on the previous studies conducted on the wind/wave misalignments effects of floating offshore wind turbines. Section ‘Methodology’ describes the applied methodology and presents the spar buoy wind turbine, the used numerical model and the selected environmental conditions. Results and the corresponding discussion are given in Section ‘Results and discussion’ for each load case corresponding to the codirectional and misaligned wind and wave loads. Results are presented and discussed in time and frequency domains. Finally, in Section ‘Conclusion’ some conclusions are drawn.
