ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

The Reduction of Capstan Effectiveness by Cable Bending Resistance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The simple exponential capstan equation relating output tension to back tension is valid for most cable applications. However, when the capstan is small and the back tension is low, the bending ...
Nonlinear and Hysteretic Twisting Effects in Ocean Cable Laying
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Armored ocean cable unlays under the action of installation tensions and restraining moments applied by the ocean bottom and the ship’s bow sheave. The process of elongation and twist is ...
Cable Recovery With Overrun
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cable is normally recovered by hauling in from ahead, with the cable guiding the ship. In an early paper, Zajac presented a method for recovery, proposed by Shea, in which the cable is ...
Twist Moments and Deformations in Submarine Cable Installation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Submarine cable systems made up of combinations of armorless cable and armored cable are subject to twist moments and deformations during installation. These stresses and strains may damage the ...
