The use of synthetic fiber mooring lines for deep-sea applications was studied. Three materials were considered - polyester, aramid and HMPE. Ropes up to MBL (minimum break load) were tested. These included novel extensometric methods based on image analysis, which enabled the influence of mean load, load range and loading frequency on stiffness to be determined for the three materials. As a result, a better understanding of the domains of application of these different materials and of related issues for design was obtained.
