Abstract
The invention relates to the field of anchor chains, and more particularly an anchor chain (1) comprising a first plurality of links (3) and, at the end of the chain, a second plurality of links (4) comprising at least three successive links (4) in each of which at least one property selected from its bar diameter and the elastic limit of its material is substantially greater than in each of the links (3) of the first plurality, in order to improve the ability of the chain to withstand fatigue by bending of the links (4) in the second plurality.

An anchor chain comprising a first plurality of links and, a second plurality of links comprising at least three successive links at a first end of the anchor chain and at least three other successive links at a second end of the anchor chain, opposite from said first end, wherein in each link of the second plurality of links at least one property selected from a bar diameter and an elastic limit of its material is substantially greater than in each of the links of the first plurality of links.
A floating body having at least one anchor chain comprising a first plurality of links and, a second plurality of links comprising at least three successive links at a first end of the anchor chain and at least three other successive links at a second end of the anchor chain, opposite from said first end, wherein in each link of the second plurality of links at least one property selected from a bar diameter and an elastic limit of its material is substantially greater than in each of the links of the first plurality of links.
