damping of a full-scale cable with a pair of passive–on magnetorheological (mr) dampers was tested. a cable of 215.58m long with the first mode frequency of 0.658hz was tensioned horizontally in cable prefabrication factory. two mr dampers were attached to the cable in an angle in the plane perpendicularly to the cable axis in 5m length from the cable anchorage. the applied voltage level was 0v...

the load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. the cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. the tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...

In this paper robust PID control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. In dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. To develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust PID control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...

a large number of authors have studied to find out how to control scouring around a pier along direct stream. the objective of this research is then to study a scour pattern around such piers on curves rivers due to the fact that there may be a difference between a flow pattern on a direct line and the meander. thus, this study tries to check whether the use of cable and collar alone and in a c...

in this paper, a new approach to modify cable tension measuring mechanism is described; furthermore, the constructed boards which amplify load cell output are introduced. this approach has some advantages including of providing feedback for motors, evaluating the robot’s ultimate load carrying capacity, improving the motor control system and estimating the vibrating deflections of the end effec...

Cable termination faults are problematic in electrical networks almost always. Technology has solved problems somewhat, but there are many annual reports about damaged cable terminations. For analyzing the problems, faults in two regional electricity companies are studied. At first step, damaged cable terminations are analyzed statistically and grouped according to their problems. Then, some of...
