Abstract
A load cell for the measurement of mooring forces is designed using the load-strain principles and the same is verified for its efficiency by structural modeling. A model load cell is fabricated and calibrated through laboratory experiments using three axes loading as well as mooring chain catenary principles. Experiments are also conducted in the physical wave tank to measure the mooring forces exerted on a disc shaped data buoy by using the designed load cell. The details of the design concepts, structural modeling, instrumentation, calibration, wave tank experiments and the results are discussed in this paper.
