A SEMI-ANALYTIC TREATMENT OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL STATISTICS OF MARINE CABLES

A semi-analytic approach is presented in this paper which is capable of predicting the static performance of marine cables. The solution is derived as a function of only three parameters which can be solved numerically by implementing different kinds of boundary conditions. The efficiency and accuracy of the method permit quick parametric studies for optimal selection of the system particulars which is undoubtedly useful for preliminary design. A number of numerical examples demonstrates the validity of the approach adopted.
