Synopsis

Discover how wire ropes work and why fastenings matter.

This nonfiction study examines rope strength, testing methods, and the science behind durable hoisting and transmission ropes. It explains how different rope constructions and fastenings affect overall performance, efficiency, and safety in real-world applications.

The book surveys existing knowledge from several sources, then presents the author’s own investigations. It shows how rope strength relates to the sum of its wire strengths and how fastening choices can change a rope’s usable strength. Expect clear diagrams and data about rope sizes, wire diameters, and various fastening types.
  • How rope strength is measured and compared to its individual wires
  • Different fastening methods and their impact on performance
  • Practical testing setups and what they reveal about holding power
Ideal for engineers, technicians, and students interested in rope technology, material testing, and safety considerations in lifting and transmission systems.
