This paper investigates the residual strength and stiffness evolution characteristics of high-
modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes used in seaweed farms service. In some cases …

Polyester ropes have been widely used in various ocean engineering. In practice, the
occurrence of damage degrades polyester rope strength and causes mooring rope failure …

This paper presents a full-scale experimental investigation to study the nonlinear dynamic
stiffness of high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibre rope under long-term cyclic loading …

Creep failure of HMPE ropes is a major concern for the application of HMPE ropes in
deepwater moorings. Hence, the creep and creep-rupture behaviors of HMPE samples were …

To improve the understanding of the damping behavior of fiber ropes, a novel method for
calculating the internal damping coefficient of these ropes based on the theory of structural …

Structural cables are composed of wires helically wound into strands, which, in turn, are
wound around a core. They have high redundancy and can be used to carry large tensile …

High modulus polyethylene (HMPE) ropes are being increasingly applied to the mooring
systems of deep and ultra-deep water floating structures. Nevertheless, due to the …

This paper presents the derivation of a mechanical model to estimate the effects of damage
on the response of ropes. Damage can be represented through a degradation of the …

This paper deals with the effects of broken rope components on rope failure axial strain,
failure axial load and rope stiffness using 3D finite element (FE) analyses. The analyses are …

In this paper, a numerical model capable of representing the impact of damage on the
overall response of jacketed polyester (PET) ropes is presented. This model considers rope …
