In this work, the horizontal nonlinear response of a three-degree-of-freedom vertical
transportation model excited by guide rail deformations is investigated. The equation of …

The vibratory energy of a moving cable in an elevator increases in general during upward
movement. A control method is presented to dissipate the energy associated with the lateral …

The dynamics of variable-length tethers are studied using a flexible multibody dynamics
method. The governing equations of the tethers are derived using a new, hybrid Eulerian …

To reduce the drag and noise of a super high-speed elevator, a certain type of elevator in
operation with different toe guards was taken as the subject to conduct research on its …

In this paper, a comprehensive model is derived to analyze the dynamic behavior of a multi-
cable double drum winding mining hoister with flexible guides by using Hamilton principle …

In this paper, an analytical method is presented to study an initial-boundary value problem
describing the transverse displacements of a vertically moving beam under boundary …

Fault detection and diagnosis is critical for healthy operation of an elevator system. In order
to realize a real-time and convenient diagnosis and satisfy the requirement of advanced …

Modern elevators are complex mechatronic systems which have to satisfy high performance
in precision, safety and ride comfort. Each elevator mechatronic system (EMS) contains a …

While cables are employed in diverse engineering applications including suspension
bridges [1], elevators [2], power transmission lines [3], and marine towing and mooring …

In this paper, a new nonlinear model of an axially accelerating viscoelastic beam is
established. The effects of a speed-dependent tension (a time-dependent tension due to …
