Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine engineering flexible umbilical cables, and relates to a protection method for excessive bending failure modes of flexible umbilical cables used in marine engineering. Background technique
[0002] With the continuous development of offshore resource development, flexible pipelines and flexible umbilicals (hereinafter referred to as "flexible umbilicals") are more and more widely used. Generally, the flexural rigidity of the flexible umbilical cable for marine engineering is relatively small, and it has good compliance to the bending load borne by the flexible umbilical cable during construction, in-position or maintenance. This also causes the flexible umbilical cable to be easily over-bent in actual engineering applications, and a bend limiter is generally used to ensure safety during its application.
[0003] Due to the advantages of flexible installation and small space requirements, the bend l...
