In case of zero current, steel and composite neutrally buoyant tendons will both provide a restoring force ratio of one. If the steel tendon D/t ratio is limited to 15, the

TLP is one of the proven technologies to support the risers in the severe environment by allowing negligible vertical-plane motions, as heave, roll, and pitch. The vertical-motion characteristics of the TLP are mainly determined by the tendon configuration and
stroke.

Comparison of transient effects after down-wave tendons unlatched at the bottom-top tension of the unlatched tendons

Comparison of transient effects after upwave tendons broken at the toptop tension of the most neighboring tendon

Transient effect on tension when #2 tendon is broken in a regular wave (T = 12s and H=7.6m)
Reducing the tendon top tension can be accomplished by reducing the bottom tension or reducing the tendon weight in air. Lightweight composite materials, therefore, can provide a
significant advantage.
