An Approach of the Maximum Curvature Measurement of Dynamic Umbilicals Using OFDR Technology in Fatigue Tests

Prototype fatigue tests simulate in-place working conditions of dynamic umbilicals that are usually conducted to verify fatigue life. The fatigue failure hot spot locates on the top segment of the umbilical. The umbilical reaches a maximum curvature at the hot spot. The hot spot position of the umbi...
