Report on Theme A: Problem of safety and endurance of ropes for winders, cranes and ropeways
- Introduction.
I have the honour to present the first group of the papers submitted to the Round Table conference of the International Organization for the Study of the Endurance of Wire Ropes, OIPEEC. I would like to start with the presentation of a wide scope of problems contained under the notion "durability of ropes". This scope is particularly extensive, if the durability is to be considered in the safety aspect, which results from the motto of the Symposium "How safe is a rope ".
