Research of Marine Simulator Cables' Mathematical Models

Abstract

As ships gradually getting larger, more special, tug assisted operation of the ship in and out of Port , berthing and unberthing becomes increasingly prominent, Tug-related training and safety assessment is increasingly important, increasing the tug unit for marine simulator is urgent.In tug unit, the cable is an important part, to establish the mathematical model of cable is key. Mooring strain satisfy Hooke's law, using the catenary equation and Hooke's Law deduces mooring unstressed length formula, according to the Department to calculate the cable unstressed length and the corresponding relations of the actual length of the mooring to calculate the tension of the mooring; Otherwise, ignoring the weight of the mooring by mooring strain curve fitting polynomial to calculate the tension of the mooring, and calculated the level of tension and vertical tension of the mooring. calculating example to verify the correctness and practicability of the model.
