Parametric Analysis in Tug-of-War Based on Ideal Biomechanical Model

Abstract:

This paper, in perspective of biomechanics, analyzes tug-of-war, on condition of maximum friction and stable rope, and achieves the sequence which can exert maximum energy. The key to exert maximum energy is to achieve maximum friction. Firstly, build an ideal and simple model, with mechanical analysis, and get that point. Secondly, analyze the maximum pressure and conduct force analysis of rope, with a conclusion that if the sequence is arrayed from short to tall and only when the heights are the same, the athletes with greater weight should stand behind.
