2. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

   A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension. [1] It is the opposite of a strut or column, which is designed to resist compression. Ties may be made of any tension resisting material.

3. Guy-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire

   The tension in the diagonal guy-wire, combined with the compression and buckling strength of the structure, allows the structure to withstand lateral loads such as wind or the weight of cantilevered structures. They are installed radially, usually at equal angles about the structure, in trios and quads. As the tower leans a bit due to the wind ...

4. Wire rope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope

   In the latter part of the 19th century, wire rope systems were used as a means of transmitting mechanical power [11] including for the new cable cars. Wire rope systems cost one-tenth as much and had lower friction losses than line shafts. Because of these advantages, wire rope systems were used to transmit power for a distance of a few miles ...

5. Rigging (material handling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigging_(material_handling)

   Sheave – Grooved wheel used to support a moving belt, wire or rope; Sheer legs; Sling (rigging) – Rope, webbing, wire or chain used to support a load for lifting; Rope splicing – Semi-permanent joint between two ropes; Tackle – System of two or more pulleys and a rope or cable; Tirfor – Device for pulling cable; Tugger (rigging)

6. Swaged sleeve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaged_sleeve

   The product which is used to make an eye splice is known as: Oval Sleeve, Figure 8 Sleeve, Hourglass Sleeve, Duplex Sleeve, Ferrule and Nicos. Correct installation is critical to the performance of the product; this includes utilizing the correct tool groove and/or die, number of presses/bites, press sequence and gauging.

7. Wire rope spooling technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope_spooling_technology

   The fleet angle is defined as the largest angle of the rope between the first sheave and the drum flange, relative to the centre line of the drum. With all type of drums, the rope is subject to a fleet angle which impacts on its behaviour and affects lifespan. Fleet angle should be between 0.25° and 1.25°, depending on the rope construction.

8. Ropelength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ropelength

   Can I tie a knot on a foot-long rope that is one inch thick? In terms of ropelength, this asks if there is a knot with ropelength 12 {\displaystyle 12} . The answer is no: an argument using quadrisecants shows that the ropelength of any nontrivial knot has to be at least 15.66 {\displaystyle 15.66} . [ 1 ]

9. Electrical length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_length

   Electrical length is widely used with a graphical aid called the Smith chart to solve transmission line calculations. A Smith chart has a scale around the circumference of the circular chart graduated in wavelengths and degrees, which represents the electrical length of the transmission line from the point of measurement to the source or load.
