A Compendium of Tension Member Properties for Input to Cable Structure Analysis Programs

Abstract

This report is a collection and condensation of cable properties used in computer simulations of cable dynamics problems. Data were taken from a variety of sources, and includes weight per foot (in air and immersed), elastic modulus, breaking strength, cross-sectional area, and drag and added mass coefficients. Cable types include chain, wire rope, synthetic and electromechanical.
