Nonlinear stress/strain simulation of the polymeric bend restriction unit
Nonlinear stress/strain simulation of the polymeric bend restriction unit installed on ocean cable layering ship. The goal of Femap/NX Nastran simulation was the solution of maximal stresses/strains in the unit under normative load. Also the bending radius of the unit has been predicted. FEA simulations has been performed for a number of typical bend restriction unit construction.
