Validation of the energy balance approach for design of vertical lifeline systems

Experimental-based statistical models for the tensile characterization of synthetic fiber ropes: a machine learning approach

“…However, rope tensile strength is the most apparent peculiarity for several applications. For instance, rope usage in the mooring demands 5 – 7 , netting structures 2 , energy absorbers in the personal fall protection vertical lifelines 8 , replacing the metal ropes in the tendon-driven robots 9 , strengthening the concrete columns through confinement 10 – 12 , and improving the seismic performance of the masonry walls 13 . Considering these different applications, it was incumbent upon the researchers.…”
