Abstract
A lumped-mass model of a marine evacuation chute is presented based on the equations of Kane. The effects of wind load, internal mass transport and the motions of the ends are included. A sample of predicted motions and tensions is presented for a typical extreme environmental condition. The model may be used to assess the behaviour of the chute structure under a variety of emergency evacuation scenarios.
