This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the modelling and analysis of the many types of ropes, linear fibre assemblies. The construction of these structures is very diverse and in the work these are considered from the modelling point of view. As well as the conventional twisted structures, braid and plaited structures and parallel assemblies are modelled and analysed, first for their assembly and secondly for their mechanical behaviour. Also since the components are assemblies of components, fibres into yarns, into strands, and into ropes the hierarchical nature of the construction is considered. The focus of the modelling is essentially toward load extension behaviour but there is reference to bending of ropes, encompassed by the two extremes, no slip between the components and zero friction resistance to component slip. Friction in ropes is considered both between the rope components, sliding, sawing and scissoring, and within the components, dilation and distortion, these latter modes being used to model component set, the phenomenon instrumental in rope proofing. The exploitation of the modelling is closed by the suggested modelling and analysis of component wear and life limitation and also of rope steady state heating. These will require extensive experimentation to extract the necessary coefficients, achievable by parallel testing of prototypes and similar structures. This development is focused on the modelling and analysis of ropes and other similar structures. All the modelling is based on the Principle of Virtual Work and admissible modes of deformation. Finally this book is directed towards the various industries involved in design, manufacture and use of ropes, stays and other similar structures.

Download or read book Theory of Wire Rope written by George A. Costello and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable progress has been made in the development of models to predict the response of wire ropes and to determine the effects of variations in the design on its performance. The book begins with the equations of equilibrium for a thin curved wire in space, before going on to solve these equations, and apply them to determine the stresses in a simple strand. These results are then extended to ropes with more complex cross sections. Numerous examples are worked out to illustrate the theory and the test results discussed. This second edition includes new chapters on tension and compression of a cord, fatigue, and approximations. Intended for graduate students and practising engineers, this makes for a comprehensive theoretical review of the subject.

Download or read book Review of Synthetic Fiber Ropes written by Walter Paul and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though fiber ropes belong to the oldest man made products, little is known about their mechanical behaviour and about factors influencing this. Rope manufacturing and the use of rope in various fields is heavily based on accumulated experience, which was inherited and improved during many centuries of rope use. However, its general use did not involve rigorous scientific and engineering analysis until fairly recently. With the introduction of synthetic fibers and new rope constructions within the last 30 years and numerous new applications of ropes in engineered systems, scientific methods are required more and more to describe and predict the mechanical behaviour of ropes in general and synthetic fiber ropes, in particular. This Handbook will give up to date information on the work which has been done to establish what may be called rope physics or rope mechanics. The goal is to turn fiber ropes into engineering tools with predictable mechanical response to applied forces and strains and to environmental conditions. The Handbook starts with an introduction into the basic characteristics of ropes, explaining them as mechanical models and as textile structures. The mechanical properties of rope such as strength, weight, breaking length, are explained next, giving special attention to the fact that fiber ropes stretch considerably under applied loads and thus absorb mechanical energy. Reaction of ropes to loading and stretching in use is covered next.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing digitalization of the energy sector, which will make a large amount of data available, should not be viewed as a passive ICT application for energy technology or a threat to thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, in the light of the competition triggered by data mining and machine learning techniques. These new technologies must be posed on solid bases for the representation of energy systems and fluid machinery. Therefore, mathematical modelling is still relevant and its importance cannot be underestimated. The aim of this Special Issue was to collect contributions about mathematical modelling of energy systems and fluid machinery in order to build and consolidate the base of this knowledge.
