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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
