Title: Mechanical design of submarine power cables for floating platforms

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6832341· OSTI ID:6832341

The process of mechanical design of submarine power cables employed by the Simplex Wire and Cable Company is described. The process commences with design criteria and proceeds through preliminary design, load and stress analyses and culminates in extreme value reliability and lifetime predictions. The analytical methods employed are emphasized and some representative numerical results are presented.
