The children were orphans and didn’t go to school. The person who found them made a anonymous phone call so there are still a lot of questions to be answered.

Introduction A vessel floating in water reacts to its environment with motion. It has six degrees of freedom, three translational and three rotational. When the floating vessel is attached to appendages, which in this case is mooring lines and risers, these attached slender structures also have effect on how the vessel reacts to the environmental loads. This study is to understand how these effects are analysed. In this chapter, the solution of the uncoupled and coupled analysis is going to be…
