• A Model for the Structure of Round-Strand Wire Ropes
  6/1/2001 - Non-peer reviewed journal articles
  This report provides a generalized mathematical model that completely describes the geometry of the wires in round-strand wire ropes.
• Safer Mine Hoisting With Conveyance Position and Load Monitoring
  9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A mine shaft is the lifeline to underground mines. Mine operators depend on safe, uninterrupted, and efficient movement of workers and materials. The shaft and hoisting system provides access to the network of openings used to recover the underground ...
• Model for the Structure of Round-Strand Wire Ropes
  9/1/1998 - Reports of Investigations
  The behavior of wire ropes used in hoisting is not well understood. In an effort to improve this understanding, the structure of round-strand wire ropes was analyzed. This report provides a generalized mathematical model that completely describes the g...
• Wire Rope Research: Analysis of Bending Fatigue in a 2-Inch IWRC Wire Rope
  1/1/1993 - Reports of Investigations
  A unique machine for inducing bending fatigue in wire ropes was built at the U.S. Bureau of Mine's Pittsburgh Research Center. This report provides an analysis of the results of the first wire rope to be fatigued on this machine.
• Bending Fatigue Tests 2 and 3 on 2-Inch 6x25 Fiber Core Wire Rope
  1/1/1992 - Reports of Investigations
  The U.S. Bureau of Mines established a wire rope research laboratory to examine the factors that affect the life of wire rope. The tests indicated that once a wire rope nears the end of its service life, both deterioration and the consequent loss of ro...
• Electromagnetic Theory of Techniques for the Non-destructive Testing of Wire Ropes
  1/1/1979 - Contract reports
  This report contains a summary of analytical research on electromagnetic methods of nondestructive testing of cylindrical conductors. The principal objective is to provide theoretical insight to the operation of electromagnetic sensing of the internal p...
