A Review of Mechanics Property Studies of Retracting and Releasing Cables for Marine Exploration Equipment
The retracting and releasing cables were the only link between the submarine explora-tion equipment and the ship,had the functions of power,information transmission and load-bearing,and were widely used in all kinds of launch and recovery systems.The safety and reliability of retracting-releasing cables were of the core functional requirements.Therefore,conducting experiments on me-chanics properties of retracting-releasing cables was the foundation of retracting-releasing cable re-search.Starting from the types and failure modes of ocean winches and retracting-releasing cables,the state of experimental studies of the mechanics properties of retracting-releasing cables was systemati-cally summarized,and an outlook on future research directions was provided.Firstly,the functions of ocean winches and retracting-releasing cables were categorized,followed by a detailed analysis of the forms and reasons for their failures.Secondly,the operating conditions,mechanics performance re-quirements of retracting-releasing cables,and experimental research's current status were described.Lastly,the research directions for the mechanics properties of retracting-releasing cables in ocean de-tection equipment were discussed,including the impact and mechanism of extreme operating environ-ments on mechanics properties of synthetic retracting-releasing cables,the behavior and mechanism of synthetic retracting-releasing cable damage under multiple load couplings,and the technology and in-tegrated simulation devices for retracting-releasing cable mechanics properties.
