Fatigue in dynamic cables
About
Our sensing platform is focussed on long term monitoring of cables to understand their integrity and the nature of the environment surrounding it.
Static cables fail quickly when they become dynamic due to crack growth in the lead sheath.
Dynamic cables dispense with the lead sheath and replace with copper tape. The behaviour of dynamic cables for floating off shore wind is uncharacterised and little information is available on design for fatigue.
We propose to work with a floating wind developer or researcher to conduct trials of floating wind demo sites and record the fatigue profile over a typical winter spread to inform on likely lifetime use over such a period and predict available life
