I have calculated the hawser mooring rope’s residual strength (life prediction) and need confirmation on its accuracy. Please review my attached PDF. The OCIMF formula R=S−(S−A)(N/e^A(S−L))^B gave unrealistic results due to a very large exponent, so I used an alternative formula and took five example loads and cycles for the calculation in the pdf.
