A time-domain model was developed to predict the response of a moored buoy subject to hydrodynamic loadings. External loadings on the buoy include hydrodynamic forces, mooring tension, wind loading and weight. A coupled analysis of the interaction of a buoy and its mooring is included and three-dimensional response is assumed. System nonlinearities include, large translational motions of the buoy and mooring line, large rotations of the mooring line and non-conservative fluid loadings. Numerical examples and experimental results are compared to contrast the validity and capability of the formulations and solution techniques.
