Abstract:

Based on the standard curve of the catenary,the strop ropeway is designed and calculated. Many factors of influencing on sliding speed were analyzed from the viewpoint of energy,and the calculation formulas of sliding speed were deduced by kinetic energy theorem.They were applied to the design of strop ropeway engineering in Ruiyun Mountain in Sanming City of Fujian Province.The theory of strop ropeway is verified to be correct through measuring data on the spot.

Key words: strop ropeway, sliding speed, catenary theory, kinetic energy theorem, engineering application
