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.
