Abstract
VTT carried out a programme on underwater technology
research in 1987-1989.
This publication contains the
papers presented at the final seminar of the programme.
The papers describe the
work made and the main results
achieved in the eight research projects of the programme
which dealt with
underwater materials technology,
flexible riser systems and underwater vehicles. The main
results include a
numerical simulation method, verified
by full-scale tests, for manoeuvring motions of a
Remotely Operated Vehicle
(ROV), a concept for transmitting
cableless a live video image from a ROV to a support
ship, a high pressure
research chamber for investigating
behaviour of structural materials in deep sea conditions,
and instrumentation
to help the control of an underwater
manipulator, including a new remotely operated
calibration method for magnetic
particle testing.
