This review of existing technology on the acoustic-emission inspection of wire rope has confirmed that the most realistic application of the method is in the detection and location of wire breaks. However, the successful detection and location of wire breaks is dependent upon such factors as rope co

During the deployment of mooring components for an FPSO in deep water excessive torsional distortion was induced which led to failure of all six spiral strand mooring ropes[ A mechanism has been investigated which accounts for the failures[ The following issues are fundamental to the incident being
The finite element approach has previously been used, with the help of the ATILA code, to model the propagation of acoustic waves in waveguides [A.-C. Hladky-Hennion, Journal of Sound and Vibration 194, 119-136 (1996)]. In this paper an extension of the technique to the analysis of the propagation o
The resistivities of specimens of five different mortars were monitored during 18 weeks of exposure to sea-water.All specimens exhibited an increase in resistivity, 25nwn thick specimens of the two more permeable mixes showing an increase equivalent to over 20mm of additional thickness after only I0
