Wire Ropes

Focused on wire ropes, the book serves as a comprehensive guide for construction engineers and machine operators. It is structured into three sections: an overview of wire rope types and components, an analysis of stationary ropes under tensile forces, and a study of running ropes affected by bending and tensile forces. Detailed experiments on rope endurance and discard criteria are included, alongside statistical evaluations of findings. The text emphasizes essential calculations related to rope geometry, stresses, elasticity, and efficiency, supported by practical examples.
