A Finite-Element Approach for Calculating Electrical Parameters of Umbilical Cables
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2009This paper presents a systematic approach for calculating electrical per-unit-length parameters of signal cables by the Finite Element Method. The associated software (UFIELD) has been specifically adapted to umbilical cables used in offshore control applications.

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Umbilical Cables Under Tension [PDF]
Advanced Composites Letters, 2017 Umbilical cables are composite structures that consisting of metallic material and polymeric material. Analysing tension behaviour under axial loading is a key requirement to design the structure. A full three-dimensional finite element model is established in which the effect of radial deformation is given more attention.

Cabling umbilical and array layout
2013This chapter discusses the case of dynamic cables and subsea connectors for which the design requirements and specifications posed by marine energy applications are distinctly different from the ones typically applied in the offshore industry. Bespoke solutions are needed in this case as the design of the connection is largely dependent on the device ...

Tow/umbilical cable system for Deep Venture I cable burial plow
OCEANS 2000 MTS/IEEE Conference and Exhibition. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37158), 2002This paper describes the tow/umbilical cable system used to tow the Deep Venture I cable burial plow. The unique demands of this cable plow, including towing at 3 knots from a work boat rather than a cableship, requires a special solution for the tow/umbilical cable system.

A Finite Element Model for Umbilical Cable Crushing Analysis
Volume 5A: Pipeline and Riser Technology, 2015Umbilical cables are essential elements of offshore floating production systems. Due to their complexity, the offshore industry regularly counts on numerical tools to perform design assignments. One of these assignments is to evaluate strains and stresses states in all components due to distinct sets of external loads. The main purpose of this paper is

On the Motions of the Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle With the Umbilical Cable Effect
Ocean Engineering, 2007Abstract In this paper, a hydrodynamic model is developed to simulate the six degrees of freedom motions of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) including the umbilical cable effect. The corresponding hydrodynamic forces on the underwater vehicle are obtained by the planar motion mechanism test technique.

Automatic Control and Guidance Method of ROV with Umbilical Cable
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2007Abstract For the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) with an umbilical cable, it becomes difficult to guide it to a target as the depth increases. Especially, the vehicle for the working in the deep sea under current disturbance, the control to reach the target is the most important and difficult problem, because the tension of the umbilical cable, which

Synchronous clamping control of marine umbilical cable tensioner
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2012The umbilical cable tensioner is a core component of deep-water oil and gas development, and it can lay and recover the umbilical cables to ensure the transmission of communication signals, electric signals or liquid injection. The displacements of tensioner’s clamping hydraulic cylinders, which are not synchronized as the nonlinear electro-hydraulic ...

A study on hovering motion of the underwater vehicle with umbilical cable
Ocean Engineering, 2017Abstract The paper presents a new modeling of the behavior of an underwater vehicle (UV) operating in the littoral sea, including the umbilical cable (UC) effect, where we derive a new simulation method of the full equations of the combined rigid body motion of a UV and flexible motion of the UC. In the modeling of flexible UC dynamics, we establish
