DECEL1 Users Manual. A Fortran IV Program for Computing the Static Deflections of Structural Cable Arrays

摘要

DECEL1 is a Fortran IV program for computing the ocean current-induced static deflections of undersea structural cable arrays. As dimensioned, the program can handle arbitrarily configured arrays of up to 22 cables. The cables can be electromechanical, wire rope, or synthetic. Any number of discrete devices (buoyancy elements, current meters, tensiometers, etc.) can be incorporated in the array. An option for parametric studies is included in the program, as in an option for incorporating arbitrary current fields. As written, DECEL1 should be compatible on most Fortran IV compilers with Boolean algebra capabilities. (Author)
