analysis, which is typically the first step in mooring system de-
sign [9]. The quasi-static analysis is useful for determining the
tension-offset response of a mooring system, which can inform
designers of the maximum offset the system will allow.
For neutrally buoyant taut moorings, the relationship between
fairlead coordinates and restoring forces is trivial: the mooring
line adopts a straight line between the fairlead and anchor, and the
tension-offset of the system corresponds directly to the material
stiffness of the mooring line [10]. This relationship is more
complex for catenary moorings, as the catenary configuration
(i.e., weight of suspended line) is controlled by tension, leading
to a non-linear tension-offset profile. This is captured by the
catenary mooring equations, which typically define the fairlead
coordinates 𝑥 𝑓 and 𝑧 𝑓 as a function of the fairlead restoring forces

is typically used for dynamic modelling of LRDs [12], which
uses linear interpolation between consecutive points of the user-
defined non-linear stiffness curve. LRDs have also been modelled
with the open-source lumped-mass modelling software Moordyn,
which also uses linear interpolation of the stiffness curve [7].
This paper presents continuous functions which model the
non-linear stiffness curves of the LRD devices shown in Fig. 1.
These functions are then combined with the existing equations for
catenary moorings, to create a static analytical model of catenary
moorings with LRDs. This requires no discretisation or stiffness
interpolation, and as such provides a quicker approach to obtain
the mooring geometry and restoring forces based on any input
mooring properties and LRD parameters (rated tension, curve
shape, LRD length). The analytical model can then be used
to find optimal LRD parameters for a given water-depth, mean

Assuming the LRD is neutrally buoyant in water, which is
typically the case of current technologies [7][6], it is subjected
to constant tension throughout its length, thus adopting a straight
line rather than a catenary shape. For a linear stiffness LRD,
its extension Δ𝐿 𝑒 is based on Hooke’s law, where the tension-
strain profile is a straight line passing through the origin and a
single point 𝐸 𝐴. The coordinates of the horizontal and vertical

• All three LRDs have exhauted all their extensibility once
the fairlead tension is above the rated tension of the device.
In practice, this would mean no extension is left to reduce
dynamic loads. If these high loads/offsets are expected, an
LRD with higher rated tension should be used.
