Abstract: Prediction of trajectory of drag anchor is important for the design and selection of drag anchor. Prediction based on yield envelope characterizing the anchor behavior under combined loading provides a promising method. ...

Abstract: Abstract. Cavities may form above the tail of torpedo anchors after installation and can significantly influence their subsequent vertical pullout behavior. However, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the effect ...

Abstract: Large ocean waves with large wave height may destroy the ship’s structure, whereas it is difficult to predict the nonlinear dynamic strength in the large waves. In this study, we used a nonlinear simulation based on boundary ...

Abstract: Abstract Dynamically conical penetrometers, such as free-fall penetrometers (FFPs) and dynamically installed anchors (DIAs), are promising solutions for offshore site investigation and anchoring in clay. However, the ...
