.... This paper presents the development of a dynamic bending stiffness test rig that Nexans Norway AS has built in order to verify the bending stiffness models developed through an internal R&D study. The rig is located inside a refrigeration chamber which controls the cable's temperature in order to study...

.... For this purpose, a specially-designed laboratory test rig was used to wear the surfaces of inter-link zones of chain sets under static axial load. The results show that tensile force has a significant but non-linear effect on wear rate and that wet conditions reduce the wear rate to a considerable extent...

.... INTRODUCTION Regardless of the inner dimensions of sloshing test rigs in model scale the results are a strong function of the defined excitation frequency. For most academic sloshing model tests rectangular tanks with water and air at ambient conditions under translational excitation in direction...
