Dynamic Computation and Design of a World's Record Death-Ride
Abstract eng: A death-ride is a long cable tensioned between two dead ends. Its design should offer a comfortable and/or enjoyable journey to the riders, within the strength limits of the material. Actually, the tensioning operation is usually subtle as a too slack cable with a sagging area would not allow finish the race, while a too taut cable could produce excessive stresses in the cable. The paper presents the design methodology and the dynamic model that were used for the design of a world-record 1.2km long death-ride, with an only 10-mm diameter.
