Mathematical models

Motivation
Catenary theory
Morisson formula
Linear harmonic oscillator
Why hand calculations?

 To provide input to more complex numerical analyses.

 To provide quick estimates in an early project phase.
 To clarify if a complex numerical models gives
reasonable results
 To gain increased physical in the involved
phenomenon's
Structural analysis

 Beams.
 Welds.
 Bolts and nuts

 More complex: FEM

Using blackboard

Chain lay- an example

Towing object with constant speed
Towing object, acceleration dominated
Morissons law
Dynamic model
Torpedo Anchor Installation
Deep Penetrating Anchor
Situation before dropping Typical anchor behaviour : anchor chain
do not interfere with anchor stability or
velocity
