Determination of tenion in hoisting ropes for low ascent and descent heights

Abstract

The problem of determining stresses in hoisting ropes and the related question of longitudinal vibrations of elastic rods in terms of formulation and solution methods have a long history. The present work aims to continue the analytical development of the problem of determining stresses in hoisting ropes of variable length in order to supplement the theoretical material necessary for rational strength calculations of hoisting ropes. The calculation itself is carried out by combining the most unfavorable circumstances in terms of strength, taking into account both the normal lifting mode and its special cases. The methodology of such calculation requires additional research and is not included in our task.
