Experimental Determination of the Elastic-Viscous Characteristics of Elastic Ropes

The conducted analytical, numerical and experimental studies for waiving of the elastic-viscous characteristics of elastic ropes are presented in the current report. The analytical studies are related to the creation of a dynamic and mathematical model of a vibrating system, supported by such ropes. The numerical studies refer to the creation of a corresponding program and a simulation model. The experimental activities refer to the modification of an existing dynamic stand for the implementation of an experimental setting, corresponding to the initial dynamic model. Additional numerical activities are carried out in connection with the development of a programming module for receiving, processing and analysis of the results of the experimental studies. By applying of the combined procedure, the data for the resistance of randomly selected group of ropes, at different deformation in them, are received.
