“…The availability of this nonlinear numerical model has been verified by corresponding model tests [26]. The results indicate that the outermost modules of the modular VLFS usually suffer larger motion amplitudes than the inner ones, especially for the outermost flexible connectors [27]. If the outermost flexible connectors can be equipped with WEC power take-off (PTO) dampers, the motion responses of the outermost modules can not only be effectively reduced but considerable wave energy power can also be obtained [28,29].…”

“…25 The excitation forces of waves can be viewed as network action and the mooring system is viewed as network constraint. The network modeling method, 26 which is a modular modeling approach based on the viewpoint of network nodes and couplings among nodes, is introduced to formulate the governing equation of motions for the modularized floating platform. The novel modeling method has been verified via wave basin experiment.…”

“…For the multiple floating modules connected by the flexible linkages without upper deck, the governing equation has been derived in our early work 26 by using network modeling method. The linear network model of multi-modular floating modules coupled with flexible linkages can be written as…”

“…The motion equations of the floating airport system can be formed by using the network theory (Zhang et al., 2015b) as where subscript i stands for the i th module, and displacement vector xi=[xi,zi,αifalse]T denotes the motions of surge, heave, and pitch respectively. The superscript T denotes a transpose.…”
