In offshore engineering, a compliant offshore structure accommodates dynamic forces by flexibility rather than rigidly withstanding load effects. As an alternative to conventional fixed platforms for loading/mooring in deep waters, articulated offshore towers are highly appealing because of their reduced structural weight. This study presents the results of a probabilistic random wave with and without current force on a 500 m high articulated tower with two hinges. By using the Lagrangian approach, governing nonlinear equations of motion are derived. The motion equation has been resolved in the time domain with the Houbolt approach. Based on Stokes fifth order nonlinear wave theory, wave forces have been assessed. Hydrodynamic forces are determined using a modified Morison equation with stretching modifications developed by Chakrabarti. The study examined two marine states, i.e., 10 m/10 s and 15 m/15 s. The current intensity of 2 m/sec has been taken into account. The salient statistical parameters such as maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation are presented under both the ocean environments. The proposed model is feasible for both the sea states. When comparing sea states, those with a greater wave height and period and those with a smaller wave height and period have more energy in their PSDs for all responses.
