Drag coefficients of vibrating synthetic rope
… tension, diameter and length of synthetic ropes vibrating because of vortex-induced forces, and net vibrating at different tensions were measured. Photographs were taken of the vortices. Drag coefficients were calculated and plotted against Reynolds Number. The measured frequency is …

On Path Independence of Axially Loaded Wire Rope Strands
However, as will be shown, Costello's linearized load-strain expressions for an axially applied force and twisting moment do not satisfy exactly the requirement that, for an elastic system, the work of the applied loads be path independent. In the present study the constitutive load-deformation …

A new method of termination for heavy-duty synthetic rope fibres
Termination of heavy-duty synthetic fibre ropes has long been an issue of concern in marine environments. Recent serious rope accidents and new requirements for lighter ropes with better performance in mooring lines have encouraged industry to look for new methods for increasing line performance …

Self, Other, and Jump Rope Community: The Triumphs of African American Women
… their culturally insular surroundings, Jump Rope Communities, to seek access to the codes of power and registers of language in all-White, all-girl, elite private schools during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In capturing the memories, perceptions, and lived experiences of these women over …

Effective Length of Fractured Wires and a Fatigue Analysis of Wire Rope
… loads and stresses between the wires in a wire rope under axial loading. The rope is regarded as a collection of smooth helical rods. The determination of the contact stresses between wires is based on the solution of Hertz's contact problem. The results are applied to a simple strand and a wire …

Rope: An Original Piece for String Orchestra Played Concurrently with Alfred Hitchcock's Film
… performed concurrently with Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope (1948). The film provides a canvas upon which a musically dominant multimedia experience is built. An accompanying analysis explains the variety of compositional techniques used, explaining their significance and how each deviates from a …

The Modelling and Simulation of the Dynamic Behaviour of a Lift Car-Rope Suspension System
… longitudinal vibrations of hoist, compensating ropes and travelling cables can occur and car vibrations may take place. The design methodology of lift systems requires performing a thorough dynamic analysis in order to predict the dynamic loads and to evaluate the response of the system during …

The politics of the rope: the campaign to abolish capital punishment in Britain 1955-1969
This thesis is an account of the campaign to abolish the death penalty for murder in Britain from the mid 1950s to the late 1960s. It examines the campaign and the debate that it generated from a very broad perspective. It looks briefly at the history of capital punishment in this country so as to …

Evaluation of Rope Shovel Operators in Surface Coal Mining Using a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Model
Rope shovels are used to dig and load material in surface mines. One of the main factors that influence the productivity and energy consumption of rope shovels is the performance of the operator. Existing methods of evaluating operator performance do not consider the relationship between production …

Bending of an Axially Loaded Strand With Friction and the Mechanics of Wire Rope Reinforced Cylinders
A theory is presented which will predict the stresses in a single lay strand subjected to axial, bending, and torsional loads when friction is present. Similar to the solution for the axial loading of a strand, the curvatures and twist of the wires in bending are estimated and the loads required …

Damage accumulation in high performance synthetic fibre ropes
… small diameter high performance synthetic fibre ropes namely Dyneema, Vectran and Technora ropes. This study was prompted by a series of fatal accidents on paragliders as a result of the line failure. All the different rope materials, including the rope with cover, without cover and the core with …

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Axially Loaded Wire Ropes
… and dynamic behavior of axially loaded wire rope. The longitudinal, torsional, and transverse displacements are determined for a rope which is initially straight in the reference configuration and loaded by an axial force and twisting moment. The static response of wire rope is analyzed using …
