Theory of Wire Rope /

Show other versions (3)

This volume is concerned with the various theories of the mechanical behavior of wire rope. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the development of models used to predict the response of ropes. Since there are so many parameters that can vary in the construction of a rope, such mo...
