| dc.description.abstract | Based upon specialised experience of rope mechanics spanning over 20
years, this paper reviews the processes of degradation and fatigue that are
relevant to hoisting ropes in mines. The review is brought up to date with
an account of the most recent work in this field, which identifies a
torsional fatigue process and quantifies the impact of degradation upon
the residual service life. A proper understanding of these processes is
important in determining how different parameters of hoist design and
operation interact to determine rope life. This knowledge is also
important in informing decisions relating to rope discard based upon
observed condition, as well is identifying the critical features that must be
quantified reliably during inspection | en |
