Mechanical Calculation of Flexible Wires Loaded with Concentrated Loads by Y. V. Bladyko

“…An algorithm for calculating sag under the combined action of vertical and horizontal loads, as well as in the case of the location of wire suspension points at different heights, is given. A formula has been proposed for estimating the sag increase factor due to the presence of concentrated forces uniformly distributed along the span and various insulator strings in the span. …”

Model of Overlying Strata Structure in Large Mining Height Excavating Condition and Calculation of Support Working Resistance by Fengfeng Wu, Xin Yue, Jingxuan Yang, Beiju Du, Jian Zhang, Bo Lv

“…The researches show that, affected by the space of the mined-out area, the roof of the large mining height working face will take on the structural form of “combined suspended beam-nonhinged roof-hinged roof”; the interaction system between the support and the surrounding rock consists of “hinged roof structure,” “nonhingeable roof structure,” “combined suspension beam structure,” and the support. The support resistance should adapt to the change of the overlying rock structure’s instability movement, bearing the weight of the structure itself and the additional load generated by the movement. …”
