Abstract

The dynamic stability of faired, heterogeneous underwater cables subject to small perturbations from a planar towing configuration is considered. Sufficient conditions for freedom from flutter and divergence are obtained using the velocity component strip theory. These conditions are given in the form of constraints on the locations of shear center, center of tension, hydrodynamic center, and center of gravity of the cable cross section.
