Abstract :
One of the important tasks among various ocean engineering activities is to lower, suspend and raise a heavy equipment in the deep ocean from a ship or a moored platform through a cable or cables in rough seas. A new theory of this dynamic system is developed and a method of quantitative solution for irregular sea waves is presented.
