`
`DYNAMICS OF CABLES, TOWING CABLES
`AND MOORING SYSTEMS
`
`M.S. Triantafytlou1
`
`Abstract. This is the third in a series of reviews
`of the mechanics of cables. This review con-
`centrates on the dynamics of towed cables and
`the drag of mooring systems and covers the
`general literature on cables that has appeared
`since the last review.
`
`The subject of the mechanics of cables and chains
`attracts considerable attention, and the related lit-
`erature is very extensive. The reasons are that
`cablesfind use in positioning or anchoring structures
`of a great variety of shape, in air or in the ocean,
`while their mechanics contain a rich variety of
`interesting or even Intriguing properties, which are
`still being discovered.
`If one were to consider also
`the related subjects of fluid—structure interaction and
`hydrodynamically induced instability, a review would
`be too extensive. As a result the focus here is
`primarily on issues related to the basic mechanisms
`of cable response.
`
`The linear and nonlinear dynamics of cables and
`chains were reviewed by the author in 1984 [1] and
`in 1987 [2]. Since then a number of studies have
`appeared, addressing primarily the behavior of
`cables and mooring lines in water and the nonlinear
`behavior of cables in air.
`
`CABLES AND CHAINS IN WATER
`
`The dynamic behavior of a cable in water is affected
`primarily by the presence otthe nonlinear drag force.
`The basic developments have been outlined in the
`second review [2]. The drag force itself is the subject
`of extensive study both for its importance as a force
`resisting any imposed motion and for the complex
`phenomena that cause it. The concentration here
`is on some aspects germane to cable dynamics,
`since the subject of viscous fluid forces is very
`extensive and is covered elsewhere in the literature,
`for example, Sarpkaya’s paper [3].
`
`A horizontal hawser used in towing surface vessels
`has similar properties as mooring lines in that drag
`suppresses transverse motions causing the tether
`to stretch substantially.
`In fact, for higherlrequency
`motions the cable employs almost exclusively its
`elastic rather than its catenary stiffness [4,5]. An
`additional. phenomenon of particular importance to
`hawsers IS snapping. Snapping occurs when the
`dynamic tension exceeds the static tension in
`amplitude, causing the cable to become slack for
`part of the cycle, and then to tighten suddenly,
`possibly causing extreme tensions and failure. The
`principal parameter controlling snapfiing was found
`to be the free-falling velocity of the awser. When
`this velocity is small, the tether cannot achieve a
`sufficiently deep catenary when falling freely, and
`the subsequent tightening is accommodated by
`stretching and hence high tension. On the other
`hand,
`if the free falling velocity is increased for
`example, by making the hawser heavier), the ca le
`forms adeep catenary shape when it becomes slack.
`Then as it tightens, the cable absorbs the imposed
`motions through changes in the catenary, resulting
`in small dynamic tensrons [6-8]. Mllgram, et al. [7]
`explored these properties of towing hawsers and
`developed a methodology for predicting extreme
`forces in towing through a seaway.
`
`The optimization of the dynamics of mooring lines
`with submerged attached buoys was addressed by
`Mavrakos, et al. [9,10].
`It was shown that these
`moored buoys behave as inverted pendula, with the
`buoyancy acting as an equivalent gravityforce. This,
`in turn, allows, through proper design of the natural
`frequencies, substantial reduction of the dynamic
`tension.
`If proper care is not taken, then buoys can
`cause the dynamic tension to increase substantially
`[11].
`
`Modelin and testing of cables and mooring lines
`was ad ressed by Papazoglou, et al. [8].
`It was
`shown analytically and experimentally that
`the
`principal arameter to model is the elastic stiffness
`of the ca Is, and this can be achieved In practice

`
`only through the insertion of a spring in series with
`the mooring line.
`For hawsers,
`the free falling
`velocity of the cable, as already described, must also
`be scaled properly.
`In a subsequent work, Papa-
`zo lou, et al. [12] consider model testing of a cable
`wit attached buoys.
`It is shown that proper scale
`modeling requires the insertion of a properly
`desi ned spring in each cable span between buoys
`andhn the span between the lower buoy and t e
`anc or.
`
`Cables towed in water. A large number of publi-
`cations have appeared covering the subject of a
`cable towed in water, usually with a body attached
`at the lower end. Depending on the application, the
`cable may be nearly vertical (as in many applications
`involving remotely operated vehicles positioned
`through a surface vehicle) or nearly horizontal (as in
`the case of towed arrays). The hydrodynamic forces
`are completely different in these two cases.
`In the
`first case, there is a strong resistive in-line force and
`a vortex induced out-of—plane (lift) force, causing
`out-of-plane oscillations.
`In the second case, the
`force is primarily inviscid and acts under certain
`conditionsto destabilizethe motion ofthe cable. The
`basic mechanism of destabilization is described in
`a large number of related publications reviewed by
`Paidoussis [13]. A more recent, very elaborate
`analytical-numerical treatment of the dynamics of
`such cables can be found in Dowling’s work [14,15].
`
`'
`
`Cables towed nearly horizontally are used for a
`variety of applications, such as geophysical explo-
`ration and vehicle detection. Paul and Solar [16]
`considered the two-dimensional dynamics of a
`towed cable-body system. They ignored inertia
`forces and used a finite link approximation, while
`they introduced some clever analytical manipula-
`tions to reduce the computational cost._ Sanders [1 7]
`considered the three-dimensional dynamics of a
`towed system usin finite differences, also ignoring
`inertia forces. De mer, et al. [18] formulated the
`problem of the nonlinear three-dimensional motion
`of a multi-segmented cable subject to fluid and
`weight forces using the finite element method
`(specifically, the method of lines) and allowing for
`cables whose length varies with time. They reported
`a_10% accuracy when they compared their results
`With ex erimentsinvolvingthede loymentofacable
`[19 .
`blow and Schechterjzo studied the same
`re lem using the method 0 finite differences and
`ocal cable coordinate formulation (i.e. projecting
`the equations along the local tangential, normal,
`binormal directions), gaining in speed of execution
`over Sanders [17].
`Further im rovement
`in the
`methodology of Ablow and So echter [20] was
`achieved by Milinazzo, et al [21] who employed an
`impllCIt, second orderfinite difference approximation
`oflthe governing equations. Com arison was made
`With the experimental results 0 Ftispln [22]. An
`omissmn in these publicationsthat should be pointed
`
`out is in not properly accounting for the hydrostatic
`force. This requires using the concept of effective
`tension as first explained by Goodman and Breslin
`[23]. E'rroneous results may be obtained by ignoring
`the hydrostatic force.
`
`Delmer, Stephens, and Tremills [24] studied the
`three-dimensional
`dynamics
`of
`cable—towed
`acoustic arrays using the lumped element method
`and a stiff integration technique. They applied their
`methodology to several examples and compared
`their
`results with experiments,
`including those
`reported by Meggit, et al. [19] and Meggit and Dillon
`[25]. They also comparedtheirresultsto asimulation
`of a 180 degree turn maneuver of a towed system.
`Their applications met with varying degrees of
`success. Areasonforsome discrepancies observed
`may lie in the rather primitive modeling of drag
`adopted by the authors.
`
`Chapman [26] studied the effects of ship motion on
`a neutrally buoyant fish. He modeled the cable as
`consisting of straight inextensible rods, freely inter-
`connected at the ends. He discovered the "sheath"
`action of drag, is. the reduction of lateral motion at
`the expense of considerable stretching and the
`considerable effect of cable length on the pendulum
`motion of a suspended fish. Forshort cable lengths,
`the response is that of a damped pendulum, while
`for long lengths,
`the action of drag practically
`decouples bottom and top transverse motions,
`hence causing a length-independent pendulum
`motion of the cable.
`
`Chapman [27] also studied the response of a cable
`to towing ship maneuvers.
`He omitted cable
`stretching and inertia forces on the cable, while he
`considered drag forces only on the cable and not on
`the towed fish. He distinguished between sharp and
`gradual maneuvers in terms of the ratio of the radius
`of ship turn and the scope of the cable. A distinctly
`different cable response was obtained for sharp
`maneuvers, which caused a rapid descent of the
`cable lower end.
`
`Further, Chapman [28] studied the attenuation of
`ship-induced lateral motions along a towed cable,
`supporting a heavytish. He employed the Bath Mk-3
`Sonar Fish to establish the validity of his results.
`In
`an experimental study, Bettles and Chapman [29]
`considered the response of a towed fish to dynamic
`excitation. Delmer and Stephens [30] considered
`the dynamics of aweighttowedthrough a long'cable;
`they addressed in particular the response of the
`weight to the cross-tack oscillation of the upper end
`of the cable.

`
`
`Schram and Reyle [31] considered the three-
`dimensional analysis of an inextensible cable and
`towed system, using the method of characteristics,
`which is discussed extensively in the context of the
`application studied. De Laurier [32] studied the
`stability of towed and tethered bodies when the cable
`has general curvature and tension variation. Paul
`and Solar [16], referenced above, considered the
`dynamics of towed cables by ignoring inertia forces
`on the cable and modeling the cable through finite
`interconnected links. They considered also 0 timal
`strategies for positioning submersibles, an
`they
`showed moderate advantages in using overshooting
`in the position of the surface vessel to overcome the
`time lag in the response of the submersible.
`Ivers
`and Mudie [33] considered the three—dimensional,
`slow (i.e., well below the wave frequency ran e)
`dynamics of towing a very long cable (up to 4 km at
`low speeds (up to 3 knots),
`ignoring inertia and
`tangential drag. The drag coefficient was found b
`minimizing the error of the model predictions wit
`respect to full scale data; its value was estimated to
`be on = 2.7. The authors note the long delays in
`achieving changes in the position of an unpowered
`towed vehicle, which reach,
`in their estimation,
`values of 30 min for a 4 km long cable.
`
`Le Guerch [34] studied the deep towing of fish using
`long cables, 2 to 6 kilometers in length, and at low
`speeds up to 2 knots, using a model based on lvers
`and Mudie’s study. His primary objective was to
`studythe 180 degree turning maneuverwith a radius
`of turning of the order of 500 meters. He compared
`his
`results with full-scale data, with particular
`attention to the value of the drag coefficient, which
`he reports to be CD = 1.5.
`
`Triantafyllou and Hover [35 and Hover, et al. [36]
`used a simplified version oft e governing equations
`for a cable to study the slow and fast dynamics of a
`cable used in towing remotely operated vehicles.
`The simplification consists in assuming moderately
`large deviations from an average configuration and
`quasi—static tangential cable motion. The simu-
`lations were compared with full-scale data, reported
`by Yoerger, et al.
`[37], Triantafyllou, et al.
`[38],
`Grosenbaugh, et al. [39] and Grosenbaugh [40].
`
`Drag Forces on Mooring and Towing Cables.
`Vessels moored through several mooring lines
`possess a natural fre uency of oscillation, due to the
`low damping availabe in the system. The mass,
`plus added mass, of the vessel and the overall
`stiffness of the mooring system are the equivalent
`mass and spring stiffness, respectively. A variety of
`low-frequency forces, particularly due to the non-
`linear wave forces, cause such vessels to oscillate
`with relatively large amplitudes. The moorin lines
`are subjected to large drag forces as they are orced
`in these large amplitude oscillations, hence provid-
`ing a substantial damping mechanism.
`In the case
`
`of towed cables, the drag coefficient is a principal
`parameter affecting the accuracy of prediction for
`the) osition of the towed body and the shape of the
`ca e.
`
`Despite considerable effort, the value of the drag
`coefficient in a flexible cable still cannot be predicted
`with the required accuracy. There are two basic
`causes for this: first, the well known Karman street
`causes out-of—plane motions, which may cause
`substantial drag increases (up to a factor of 3 or
`more); second, the superposition of wave-induced
`motions and slowly varying motions results in an
`apparent increase of the damping of the slowly
`varying motions. Thetwo phenomena together can
`cause an unexpectedly large increase in the
`apparent drag coefficient.
`
`In the case of short cables, low-frequency motions
`are practically absent, hence the principal unknown
`physical mechanism is the appearance of lock-in;
`I.e., vibrations synchronized with the formation of
`vortices. This is a subject of considerable interest,
`but will not be reviewed here since the mechanics
`of the cable itself are of secondary importance.
`
`For long cables, however, both mechanisms men-
`tioned above are present, while the mechanics of
`the cable are of primary Importance even for the
`vortex formation problem,
`since the system is
`practically of infinite extent, and lock-in is continu-
`ous. The significant variation of drag coefficient
`reported in towed cables was noted above (lvers and
`Mudie [33] report 2.7, while Le Guerch [34] reports
`1.5). An apparent explanation is offered by the
`recent work of Yoerger, et al. [37] Triantafyllou, et
`al. [38], Howell [41], Grosenbaugh, et al. [39] and
`Grosenbaugh [40].
`In these papers it is noted that
`the shear in the fow causes amplitude modulated
`response, which, in turn, lowersthe value of the drag
`coefficient (which also becomes de endent on the
`modulation amplitudes traveling song the cable
`length). Hence, sharp transient maneuvers will
`resultinlowervaluesofdra coefficient,while steady
`towing results in higher va ues.
`
`In the case of mooring lines, Huse [42] and Huse
`and Matsumoto [43,44], Wichers [45], Wichers and
`Huisjsmans [46], Koterayama, et al. [47], and Kot-
`erayama, et al. [48] studied the increase of drag
`coefficient due to the su erposition of Iow— and
`high-frequency motions.
`lthough an exact calcu-
`lation is still lacking, the apparent increase in drag
`coefficient of the low-frequency motions is well
`documented. An outline of the basic mechanism can
`be foEinci, among others, in the paper by Demirbilek,
`eta 49 .

`LINEAR AND NONLINEAR
`MECHANICS OF CABLES
`
`The linear dynamics of cables translating between
`two fixed points were addressed by Perkins and
`Mote [50], using a numerical method, and by Perkins
`[51]. Perkins used a first-order asymptotic expan-
`sion (with respect to the sag to span ratio) and the
`assumption oi quasi-static stretching (in essence
`Irvine's equation in a translating frame [52]).
`In both
`studies the natural frequencies of a translating cable
`were studied, while the case of an "inverted cate-
`nary," where the centrifugal force provides a load
`normal to the cable configuration, was addressed
`and in particular the onset of instability when gravity
`overwhelms the centrifugal force as the velocity of
`translation goes to zero.
`
`In an interesting paper, Liu, Huang, and Chen [53]
`showed that inthe case of a chain of vibrating strings,
`coupled dissipativeiy,
`the energy always decays
`uniformly if damping is applied only at the ends;
`whereas if damping is distributed at the internal
`nodes, the energy may decay uniformly or non-
`uniformly, or it may not decay at all.
`
`The well—known quadratic and cubic nonlinearity of
`the planardynamics of sagging cables and the cubic
`coupling between in-piane and out-of—plane motions
`provided further 0 portunity for research. Bene-
`dettinl, Rega, an Vestroni
`[54] considered the
`out-of—plane
`nonlinear
`response
`of
`a cable.
`Takahashi and Konishi [55,56] first considered the
`free, nonlinear vibrations of a cable and then
`determined the conditions forobtaining out-of-piane
`response with in-plane harmonic excitation. Bene-
`dettinl and Rega studied the nonlinear dynamics of
`an elastic cable under planar excitation [57] and the
`superharmonic planar resonant responses of an
`elastic cable (second and third superharmonic) [58].
`Rega and Benedettinl [59] examined the subhar-
`moniclplanar resonant responses (one-half and
`one-third subharmonics).
