Towing cable arrays have made significant contributions across various fields, and their outspread process is crucial for realizing their functionalities. However, research on the dynamic characterization of the outspread process of towed cable array...
Multi-branch towed array systems are an important component of subsea information collection, which is increasingly required for subsea pipeline laying and offshore platform construction as ocean energy is exploited. However, the complexity of underw...
To ensure safe and stable operation of towed array systems in complex marine environments, the concept of a Safe Maneuvering Envelope (SME) for towing maneuvers is proposed based on flexible cable dynamics theory. The dynamic equations of the towed a...
This paper investigates a 1.7 mm diameter ultra-weak fiber Bragg grating (UWFBG) hydrophone towed array cable for acoustic direction finding. The mechanism of the underwater acoustic waves received by this integrated-coating sensitizing optical cable...
The ocean towing system plays an important role in the ocean development process. The motion of a towed body is closely coupled with the motion of a towing cable. In this paper, the lumped mass method is used to discrete a towing cable into a lumped...
Tethered deep-sea robots and instrument platforms, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and vertical-profiling or towed instrument arrays, commonly rely on fiber optics for real-time data transmission. Fiber optic tethers used for these applicat...
