Abstract: This paper presents test results on temporarycreep properties, recovery of strain postcreep and postcreep tensile properties of a Raschel knitted netting material with a combination of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene ...

Abstract: New types of fish farms are often larger and structurally more complex than conventional fish farming structures, and associated challenges concerning safety and costs increase correspondingly. Thus, increased precision ...

Abstract: The tremendous growth of the fish farming industry in Norway over the past decades was supported by new designs and materials for fish farms, enabling bigger fish cages to be positioned in more exposed sea areas. Today, ...

Abstract: Drag forces on nets represent the largest contribution to hydrodynamic loads on traditional fish farms and will have a large impact on total loads on new designs utilizing netting as containment method. Precise methods for ...
