Finite Element Analysis of the Application of Synthetic Fiber Ropes to Reduce Blast Response of Frames
… research investigates the possibility of using synthetic fiber ropes as a means of blast resistance. This is the third phase of a multi-stage research endeavor whose goal is to analyze Snapping-Cable Energy Dissipators (SCEDs) for reducing the effects of large-scale lateral loads. Finite element …

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Improving Seismic Performance of Steel Moment Frames Using Synthetic Fiber Ropes
… investigated the viability of a double-braided synthetic fiber rope for providing improved performance of steel moment frames subjected to earthquake-induced ground motions. A series of experimental tests, including a 1:3-scale dynamic test and 1:6-scale shaking table tests, was conducted using …

Finite Element Analysis of the Application of Synthetic Fiber Ropes to Reduce Seismic Response of Simply Supported Single Span Bridges
… to three-dimensional seismic loads. SCEDs are synthetic fiber ropes that undergo a slack to taut transition when loaded. Finite element models of six simply supported spans were developed in the commercial finite element program ABAQUS. Two seismic records of the 1940 Imperial Valley and 1994 …

Innovative Floating Wind Turbine with Synthetic Mooring System and Feasibility Analysis of a Solar-Wind-Battery Hybrid System
Synthetic mooring lines, characterized by their neutral buoyancy and high strength, are crucial for maintaining the station-keeping of Floating Wind Turbines (FWTs) by providing the necessary restoring forces while minimizing the vertical loads on the platform. This thesis explores the evolution of …
