Rope Mathematics and Physics

Rescue System Mechanics, Interim Report
Timothy W. Manning - twmanning@shomaker.com
Rope systems used by wilderness and urban rescue teams in the access and extrication of injured and stranded persons often result in forces in excess of the primary load. Examination of the mechanics of these systems can aid in the quantification of these forces, identify key points in the systems where large increases in force are generated, and aid in the construction of more efficient and safer rescue systems.
