Validation of Finite Segment Cable Models.
Abstract
Analytical and experimental data is presented validating a finite segment cable model. The model consists of a series of pin-connected rigid rods which may have different lengths, diameters, and masses. The model is capable of simulating large, three-dimensional motion of flexible cables. Its principal areas of application are expected to be with the simulation of long, heavy, towing and hoisting cables. (Author)
