| Description |
Research pm the damage tolerance of Synthetic-Fiber Mooring
ropes for use on MODU’s. Analysis of controlled, damage-tolerance, static
tension tests on elements and sub-rope components taken directly from
representative polyester mooring rope products. This research laid a
foundation into the behavior of ropes with damage including more
sophisticated analytical modeling. |
