| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a mooring component (2) for use in mooring systems. The component (2) comprises a plurality of deformable elements (6a,6b) having a reversible non-linear stress-strain response. The six elements (6a,6b) are formed from elastomeric materials and have different lengths and/or cross-sectional areas and/or are formed from different materials. The overall response of the component (2) is a composite reversible non-linear stress-strain response that is a combination of the responses of each of the plurality of elements (6a,6b). The stress-strain response of the component (2) may be tailored to the expected environmental loading for the location at which the mooring system is to be used. |
