Cable Drum Load Prediction
Company Name:
Arca24.com
Salary period: Annual
MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND
Rolling up a cable onto a cable drum may appear rather straight forward but is far more challenging if you accurately aim to predict residual forces adding up from weight and acceleration, friction, roll-up tension and cable characteristics. In addition offshore environmental loads will apply as well. A filled cable drum in this context may have a total weight of 450 ton and cable cross sections are ranging from simple to very complex with a weight up to 100 kg/m.
OBJECTIVES
- Establish a theoretical model and solver for the forces acting on the drum.
-Develop an Excel or Matlab based solver application and verify by means of FEM.
- Provide a far more accurate method compared to traditional hand calculations, still easy to use, for dimensioning of loads acting on a case to case cable drum composition.
Start January.
