... Abstract This paper presents an investigation of a newly discovered motion instability phenomenon for floating wind turbines. The instability is due to anti-symmetric coupling terms in roll and yaw caused by the turbine thrust force. For floaters with small separation between the uncoupled roll...

... the theory of elasticity, the structural behavior is formulated, for a general radial load distribution. The instability problem is also addressed. Despite the simplicity of such a model, results agree quite well with experiments conducted under controlled conditions. Applied to a typical carcass, the model...
