The expansion of floating offshore renewable energy demands reliable mooring solutions. Synthetic mooring ropes offer cost savings and performance benefits but exhibit complex, nonlinear, and frequency-dependent behavior. This study investigates their mechanical response through experimental testing, characterizing quasi-static and dynamic properties. The results inform a viscoelastic material model that captures nonlinear stiffness and dynamic response under marine loading. Based on Schapery’s formulation, this model can be integrated into a Finite Element framework to simulate real-world conditions, improving predictive capabilities for synthetic mooring lines in offshore applications.
