Steel Ropes Testing

At the Department of the Building and Materials Handling Machinery of the Technical University Budapest we dealt with testing of the elevator steel ropes. We established the stochastic – function between the diameter and length of ropes with sampling and continuous measuring; determined the longitudinal and transversal stating and dynamic elasticity modulus of the ropes, than the damping of the oscillation, the hysteresis and relation of the longitudinal deformation. The paper presents some interesting results and new measuring instruments.
