Dynamic analysis and simulation on sliding process of multi-rope friction hoist

Abstract

The authors present two-degree of freedom dynamic equations for a multi-rope friction hoist system while sliding occurs, develop its multi-degree of freedom physical model, and resolve the MDOF dynamic equations based on the Lagrange's equations. To analyze the solution differences between the two models, their dynamic equations are simulated with SIMULINK of MATLAB software, which provides a theoretical reference for the further investigations on friction hoist sliding.
