The Analysis Method of Highline Cable of Alongside Replenishment System Based on Suspended Cable Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to mechanical characteristics of highline cable of alongside replenishment system at sea, two mathematical methods for static analysis of the highline cable under its own weight are investigated: catenary method, which is the exact solution, and parabolic method, which is the approximate solution but simpler to calculate. A model consisting of two sections of catenary is established for the analysis of the highline cable under a concentrated load. The expressions of the length and the tension of the highline cable are derived, and the result of each section is obtained.
