A Study on Design Variables for Increasing the Breaking Strength of Synthetic Fiber Chain
In this study, a fiber chain was developed to replace a steel chain using high-modulus polyethylene DM20. The pick count, wrapping count, and inner length were selected as the main design variables of the fiber chain and were analyzed to increase the ...
