The determination of the forces in the elements of steel wire rope winding on the drum

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of determining the forces that arise in the elements of a
rope when rope is wound on a drum. The distribution of forces in the elements of the rope, which is
wound on the drum, is considered.
A new calculation is proposed based on the classical theory, namely, on the Kirchhoff
system of equations.
A graphical representation of the forces and forces acting on the rope bent on the drum is given.
An additional coefficient γ is introduced into the calculation formulas, which depends on the
type of rope.
