The hidden physics of anchoring big ships, catenary curves, seabeds, and holding power
On large ships, the anchor mainly pins the end of the chain while the heavy catenary curve absorbs loads from wind and current. This video explains how seabed type, chain scope, and recovery mechanics ...
Steel catenary risers (SCRs) are pivotal components in deepwater offshore engineering, linking seabed installations to floating production systems. Their dynamic behaviour, particularly in the ...
In this video, we derive the catenary curve using physics and calculus, explaining how a hanging cable reaches equilibrium under gravity. Step-by-step reasoning connects forces, differential equations ...
