Abstract:
This article presents the equipment developed at POLICAB (Stress Analyses Laboratory) and the preliminary experimental results. The project objective was to develop equipment to approaching the test condition to the work condition and characterize the creep behavior of synthetic multifilaments, applied to offshore mooring systems for ultra deep waters. The equipment developed is able to test wet multifilaments simulating the ocean deep water temperature.
