Two theoretical formulations of logging cable system
problems, the catenary model and the parabolic model are investigated and compared with the results of experiments executed on a gravity system field model.
The study shows that although the shape of a free hanging cable is better described as a catenary than a parabola,
both theoretical models are accurate enough to solve practical cable system problems.
The few dynamic tests tried on the field model show the great importance of the dynamic forces in a logging cable system and the need for further research in this field. / Forestry, Faculty of / Graduate
