In this paper, an efficient two-dimensional finite element model for a mooring cable and seabed interaction is built while geometric shape and tensions of the cable are computed in time domain. In the model, a hybrid beam element is employed to simulate the mooring cable with the seabed simulated by different soil constitutive models. When the elastic and elastic-plastic soil constitutive model...

The problem of electric field grading in cable components, having both theoretical and technological implications, can be framed in more general topic of field control in HV equipment. A solution may be obtained by two possible approaches: using geometric field control [11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18], in which the field distribution depends on the arrangement of main and auxiliary electrodes or using ...

the most important factor in evaluating dental health is dmft (decayed, missing, filled, teeth). this research was conducted to compare dmft index in the workers of sweets and cable factories of shahrood (moghan), a small city near 300 km east of tehran. all the 127 production line workers of cable factory and 124 workers of sweets factory who had the predetermined criteria were selected. a que...

Methods of directly coupling sources to cables for-EMP testing are reviewed. Effects of cable impedance, cable shielding, and structure in the vicini,ty of the cable are examined. Several practical coupling mechanisms are discussed .

We present two path planning algorithms for mobile robots that are connected by cable to a fixed base. Our algorithms efficiently compute the shortest path and control strategy that lead the robot to the target location considering cable length and obstacle interactions. First, we focus on cable-obstacle collisions. We introduce and formally analyze algorithms that build and search an overlappe...
