Denial - I truly appreciate your attention to this matter.
I will respond numerically. :)
(2) Yes, I did forget to write cubed here, it was a typo and a good catch.
(3) The WREH defines alpha a bit more detailed than I, however mathematically, it should not matter. I never need the...
Qshake - I appreciate the response. I will look into that suggestion.
Denial - Ah, I actually have read that page trying to find equations before, and it just now hit me that you quoted the Certesian equation ver batem. I suppose I didn't recognize 'c' simply because I had seen it written as...
Thank you both for your responses.
SlideRuleEra - That was a fairly detailed read and had some algorithms that looked promising.
The equations that seemed to match are found on page 43, and the equation specifically that looked useful was marked as (17). I could find the x value when y...
I appreciate your attention to this.
There are more than one cable in the system, each creating their own tension forces, and therefore stabilizing the craft. Because of this, the craft should never be pulled to being vertical above the chain location on the sea bed (unless we have weird data...
I need to write a computer program that simulates data in a mooring system but am unable to find much information on the shape of the catenary in a way that I can work with. I should point out that I am a skilled programmer, but have not delved into much high level engineering mathematics. I...
