... Abstract In this paper, we proposed a three-dimensional model for the tension analysis of submarine power cables during laying operations. Both flexural rigidity and axial elasticity were taken into consideration in the form of classical Euler-Bernoulli beam element theory. The governing...

... part of caisson with cables in the normal direction of a breakwater. From the numerical analyses, the higher wave forces are transmitted through the interlocking cables as the angle of an incident wave is larger, and the maximum allowable wave force was capable to be increased by sharing the wave...

... ABSTRACT: This paper investigates numerically the effect of tension pulley on various physical quantities such as the flattening power output and the cable tension for the float counterweight wave energy converter (Hadano 2006). The tension pulley, a combination of a spring and a pulley...

..., the vehicle of KAIKO was lost by the break of the secondary cable that connected the launcher and the vehicle (Momma, Watanabe, Hashimoto and Tashiro, 2004 etc.). JAMSTEC have developed the alternate ROV KAIKO7000. Later, KAIKO7000 was reconstructed to KAIKO7000II (Nakajoh, Murashima and Yoshida, 2005 etc...

... is at 500-m depth of water and the other at 1000-m depth, with the motor power of 800 kW and voltage of 4000 V. Pumps are all started on vessel and the power cable for each of them is separated. The buffer in the depth of 5000-m is equipped with hose transporting pump with the power of 180 kW and a feeder...

.... The system would plug into a cable laid from the oil platform which provides power and a communication / video link. This eliminates the need for a ship. INTRODUCTION Tethered marine vehicles, ROV's, and Autonomous Marine Vehicles, AUV's, are well known to the marine work and survey industries...

... Sasamoto Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine Koutou-ku, Tokyo, Japan ABSTRACT Recently, we have been developing three underwater vehicles in JAMSTEC. The development trend of these vehicles is introduced in this paper. UROV7K system operates the vehicle by one optical fiber cable of the about 1mm...
