Rope around a tight bend 7-Apr-2010 At 4:12:01 PM Phil Box

That would be an excellent series of tests. I'd like to see the tests go further though to see at what stage a rope will cut. In other words start the series at 10mm radius and go down to 1mm radius by 1mm increments and then step down in .2mm increments. This should give us some hard data on how different radii affect the strength of a rope.

Of course this will not give us any data on what would happen when a rope is subject to a sawing action on various frictional edges which is another series of tests I would dearly love to see.

Sooo many things can affect the strength of a rope it is almost bewildering as to where to start which is possibly why these sort of tests have never been done. Do the tests and then throw in a variable, repeat ad nauseum, ad infinitum. Where do you stop. We know where to start but the question remains where one goes with this.
