In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in the installation of heavy and
complex shape subsea equipment, consequently, a detailed analysis of this process is …

The purpose of this paper is to develop two kinds of controllers:(1) the variable structure
control (VSC) and (2) the fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC), for the building with an active …

In conventional researches, cables of cable-driven parallel manipulators are treated as
simple linear elements that can only work in tension. This results in the fact that the effect of …

The paper presents the modelling of risers dynamics by means of the 3D formulation of the
lumped mass method (LMM). The lower marine riser package (LMRP) and blowout …

Cable-driven parallel manipulator (CDPM) is a good solution to achieving large workspace.
However, unavoidable vibrations of long cables can dramatically degrade the positioning …

Techniques to model dynamic mooring lines take various forms. The most widely used
models include a heuristic representation of the physics (such as a lumped-mass system), a …

The utilization of renewable energy has great significance to reduce CO2 emissions.
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is regarded as most cost-effective solution to …

In this article, the finite element simulation of cables is investigated for future applications to
robotics and hydrodynamics. The solution is based on the geometrically exact approach of …

The dynamics of marine cables are efficiently expressed using the lumped-mass model,
which divides the cable into finite elements, on each of which a reference frame is fixed in …

The dynamic analysis of cable-pulley systems is investigated in this paper, where the time-
varying length characteristic of the cable as well as the coupling motion between the cable …
