Abstract:
|
A matrix method for mooring system analysis is
extended to address the dynamic response of towed underwater
systems. Key tools are equivalent linearization and small perturbation
theory, and a pitching towfish model. Two examples of
application of the technique are provided. The first studies a fundamental
limitation to constrained passive heave compensation,
while the second concerns the use of floated tethers as a means
for dynamic decoupling. |
