Abstract
The laboratory inspection and analysis of several types of rope by edge tensile test, D/d tensile test and abrasion test were carried out in order to investigate the abrasion degradation by ...
PURPOSE: The specific aims of the study were to 1) determine what effects dose-dependent rope jumping had on os calcis stiffness index (OCSI) and 2) determine whether OCSI values measured by quantitat...
Two measures of self-concept were administered to 11 children, aged from 9 to 11 yr., before and after 8 wk. of participation in a guided exercise program of precision rope jumping. Despite the fact t...

Abstract
High strength, high modulus fibers such as Kevlar, Spectra, Dyneema and Vectran each have unique properties that require special consideration during the rope design and selection process. T...
Abstract
The author discusses the application of counterweight safeties, electrical dynamic braking, and a pneumatic rope brake system to single-rope mine hoists. He considers the control, design, an...
