Analysis and Modeling of Snap Loads on Synthetic Fiber Ropes
… transfers from a slack state to a taut state, a snapping action occurs and produces a large tensile force which is known as a snap load. Energy is dissipated during this snap load, and it is proposed to use synthetic fiber ropes as a type of passive earthquake damper in order to take advantage of …

Dynamics of a vertically tethered marine platform
… inertia of the platform imparts a large strain—a snap load—in the tether. The resulting strain wave propagates to the surface with the characteristic speed (3870 ms⁻¹) of tensile waves in the tether. An extremely repeatable pattern of echoes is detectable at each end. Two models, a continuous …

Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamics of a Moored Cylinder to be Used as a Breakwater
… springs, mainly due to the development of snap loads in the mooring lines.

Investigation Into Snap Loading of Cables Used in Moored Breakwaters
… a moored breakwater configuration to investigate snap loads in mooring lines. Breakwaters are structures used to attenuate or eliminate waves and protect shorelines, harbors, and other natural and man-made marine structures from wave damage. The breakwater in this investigation is modeled both as …

Finite Element Analysis of the Seismic Behavior of Guyed Masts
… guys, with a particular focus on the effect of snap loads on the mast behavior. This is the third phase of a multi-stage project aimed at analyzing the potential for Snapping-Cable Energy Dissipators (SCEDs) to minimize lateral response in structures. A finite element model of a 120-m-tall guyed …

Experimental Snap Loading of Synthetic Fiber Ropes
… state to a taut state. This transfer is called a snap load and can be very violent. It is proposed to use synthetic fiber ropes as a type of passive control device in new or existing structures to mitigate seismic response. Experimental static and snap load (dynamic) tests were conducted on …
