Recent activities in the oil and gas industry have shown an increasing need for monitoring
engagements, such as in shipping, logistics, exploration, drilling, or production. Hence, there …

This study investigated the tensile behavior of some prevalent synthetic fiber ropes made of
polyester, polypropylene, and nylon polymeric fibers. The aim was to generate well …

In this paper, a mechanical model is proposed to estimate the static response (stiffness,
residual capacity, deformed configuration, strain/strain distribution within cross-section, and …

Synthetic fibre ropes are increasingly popular for mooring lines of marine structures. The
adoption of polyester ropes for deep water offshore platforms has resulted in a large material …

Accurate understanding the behavior of spiral rope is complicated due to their complex
geometry and complex contact conditions between the wires. This study proposed the finite …

This paper deals with the effect of combination modes of degradation on a rope's properties.
The effect of degradation is evaluated by a damage model that takes into consideration the …

In this paper, two factors that govern the response of damaged ropes are numerically
examined independently: strain localization and asymmetric damage distribution. These two …

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 to evaluate the impact of the presence of fractured rope
components on the static response of ropes is presented. Specifically, the proposed model …

Experimental and numerical studies have concluded that two of the main phenomena that
govern the static response of damaged ropes and strands are the strain localization and …
