Books by Keyword: Hoisting Vessels Displacement

Description: The monograph is the result of multiple years of research by a team dedicated to solving the applied problems of composite, structurally orthotropic, tractive-carrying, and transporting elements, specifically elastomer-cable ropes (steel cord belts). The presented investigations delve into the peculiarities of a stress-strain state influenced by various factors, including rope design, field of application, interaction with other objects during operation, and other features such as operational loading, spatial deformation, continuity breakages, longitudinal cuts in a rubber shell, nonlinearity of deformation, etc. This monograph also introduces and justifies a technical solution for controlling the condition of rope tractive elements by applying voltage to them and monitoring the results. Finally, a concept of utilising composite elastomer-steel tractive elements as a suspension for permanent structures is introduced. This monograph will be of interest to everyone who is engaged in industrial transportation – horizontal, vertical and inclined, such as hoisting or conveyor transport, and also used as a research methodology for composite materials, in which a soft elastomer shell surrounds hard longitudinal elements.
