Parameter Estimation for Synthetic Rope Models

The Synthetic ropes for Marine Renewable Energy mooring systems (SynMaRE) project is funded by the EPSRC Flex Fund, administrated by the UK Centre for Marine Energy Research (UKCMER) and Wave Energy Scotland. The contributions of Tension Technology International, Lankhorst Euronete and Orcina are greatly appreciated. The measurements used for Example 1 originated from test work carried out by the University of Exeter as part of the Marine Energy in Far Peripheral and Island Communities (MERiFIC) project which was funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg IV-A programme. The measurements used in Example 2 are from test work carried out by Tension Technology International. The measurements featured in Example 3 originated from development work conducted by the University of Exeter on behalf of Nagasaki University and Ashimori Industry Co. Ltd.
