在深水石油平台的系泊应用中使用聚酯（PET）纤维绳索意味着使用终端，例如拼接眼，这需要专门的手工劳动并且耗时。这项研究评估了用树脂插座程序取代这些终端的技术可行性，该程序包括将简单端绳索引入具有圆锥形形状的中空金属装置（即插座）中，并向其中倒入热固性树脂，一旦固化，就会固定绳索末端。将PET绳（10或48 mm直径）插入并在拉伸测试下进行评估。用DSC和DMA对不同环氧树脂体系的固化和粘弹行为进行了监测。有插座的PET绳索的性能适合于预期的应用，显示出与无插座绳索类似的失效载荷，特别取决于树脂类型、插座锥度和树脂/纤维体积比。
The use of polyester (PET) fibre ropes in mooring applications for deep water oil platforms implies the use of terminations, e.g. the spliced eye, which demands specialized manual labour and is time consuming. This research evaluates the technical viability of substituting these terminations with a resin socketing procedure, which consists of introducing a simple-end rope in a hollow metallic device having a conical shape (i.e. a socket) and pouring into it a thermoset resin that, once cured, fastens the rope extremity. PET ropes (10 or 48mm diameter) were socketed and evaluated under tensile testing. The curing and viscoelastic behaviour of various epoxy resin systems were monitored with DSC and DMA. The performance of socketed PET ropes was suitable for the intended application, showing failure loads similar to those of unsocketed ropes, being particularly dependant on resin type, socket conicity and resin/fibre volumetric ratio in it.
