Hi all, I'm a physicist, and I'm now trying to understand and model a problem with a multishafted cord, being pulled from one side in order to transfer force. The cord has its own elastic properties (elongation, bending etc.), it goes through several pulleys with friction, and most likely its mass is not negligible.
Point being, from the physics perspective, everything I've neglected in my BSc, came back for revenge.Can anyone point me in a direction of research and models on this topic?
I tried looking for articles and calculations for force transfer on cranes (assuming that in long ropes the elastics are important). I searched for equations in the field, but only found the Capstan Equation. I have found very little helpful materials until this moment.
Any lead, book, suggestion or even subject name in English will be very helpful at this point.Thank you very much in advance,
