Isbn: 9781390425284 - determination of skyline load capability with a programmable pocket calculator (classic reprint) (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a method for determining the load capacity of running or standing skyline cable systems, essential for planning purposes in logging operations. It presents mathematical expressions that condense the complex relationship between tensions, loads, and geometries into a form that can be programmed onto pocket-sized calculators. The author approximates the catenary description of cable systems with simpler assumptions, introducing some error in the results. However, comparisons with other methods show the calculator results to be useful for a wide range of situations. By using a programmable calculator, logging engineers can easily determine the relationships between system tensions, loads, and geometries, making advance planning of logging activities more accessible and practical.
