... analysis has been carried out for the different joints of the mechanism to select proper actuators. System simulation has been carried out to arrive at configuration and actuator dimensioning to meet specific application requirements such as large displacement heave motion and large angle of tilt for roll...

... machine on the space configuration, support restrained force and maximum tensile stress of the flexible hose is investigated in order to provide guidance for the deep-ocean mining operation. Results show that the line walking of the mining machine is better for small lateral displacement, maximum tensile...

The prototype and model data...

... are convenient to simulate the various 3-D motions of integrated mining system. Some essential characteristic and transient behaviors of pipe system are investigated and evaluated by simulation, including: Pipe system's launch and retrieval behaviors; The configuration of pipe system in deep-ocean, putting...

... configuration and stress are calculated, and then by modal analysis, it is found that the first ten mode frequencies of the lift system are far below the wave frequency in operational situation. The transient responses of the present vertical pipe to the moving ship with horizontal and vertical excitations have...
