Modellierung von Kabelstrukturen und deren Verhalten bei Kontakt und Torsion

authored by: P. Wriggers, A. Neto, P. M. Pimenta
Abstract: Laying of offshore cables on ocean ground can be described by beam models which allow for finite displacements and rotations. These models lead to nonlinear formulations that can only be solved by using approaches like the finite element method. Additional to the nonlinearities stemming from the cable unilateral constraints occur due to contact of the cable with the seabed which results in further nonlinearities. When torsion is applied to such structures then besides the contact with the seabed also self -conact of the cable can develop which may lead frequently to irreparable damage of the cable.
