Research transfer of a monolithic rope termination of a high modulus fibre rope

该计划项目的目的是将高模量纤维绳索的整体绳索终端发明的研究成果转移到工业中。基于这些研究成果，来自不莱梅的Geo Gleistein & Sohn GmbH公司对这些基础研究成果长期转化为工业产品并商业化表示了极大的兴趣。由于这项研究不是由产品完成的，而且人工工作步骤的共享对最终连接的质量和运行可靠性有重要影响，Gleistein决定与IFT一起进行联合转让项目，以确定未来创新应用的研究。由于世界范围内轻型结构的发展，Gleistein公司希望在起重机绳索、屋顶支撑和海上部门中使用这种端部连接。Gleistein是一家德国高品质技术纤维绳索制造商。这家中型公司位于不莱梅，拥有110名员工，市场占有率为35%。其成果将为最终的工业应用提供安全系统。因此，高模量纤维绳在未来可以成为一种创新的悬挂系统。其优点不仅是与钢丝绳相比重量减轻，仅为钢丝绳重量的1/7，而且还可以实现传感器和固有能力。Gleistein公司在项目实施后进行了工业化。计划开展以下工作：对于直立绳和行走绳的应用，主要是Geo Gleistein，在IFT的参与下，根据后期应用的要求以及终端和最终生产的要求设计了两种不同的电缆结构和绳径。随后，IFT将计算，设计终端连接并将技术转让给Gleistein公司。因此，高模数的钢丝绳终端可以在Gleistein工厂联合生产，在AP 1.4中描述的可使用性测试期间，也通过传感器技术测试预防性维护的可能性。根据预期应用，系统地进行拉伸应力测试和弯曲测试。检查此类电缆系统的应用极限，并确定安全应用极限。根据研究结果，最终目标是系统地开发一个理论上的时间稳定模型的应用。该项目的总体目标是加强德国作为一个商业地点。

The aim of the planned project is to transfer the research results of the monolithic rope termination invention for high modulus fiber ropes to the industry. Based on the research results, the company Geo Gleistein & Sohn GmbH from Bremen has expressed great interest in the long-term conversion and commercialization of these basic research results into industrial products. Since the research is not completed by the product and the share of the manual work steps has an important influence on the quality and operational reliability of the final connection, Gleistein has decided together with the IFT to pursue a joint transfer project in order to determine the research to future innovative applications. Due to worldwide lightweight construction developments, the company Gleistein would like to use this end connection in crane ropes, roof bracing and in the offshore sector. Gleistein is a German manufacturer of high-quality technical fiber ropes. The medium-sized company has a staff of 110 and a market share of 35% based in Bremen.The results will form the basis for providing safe systems for the final industrial applications. As a result, high modular fiber ropes can become established as an innovative suspension system in the future. The advantages are not only the weight savings compared to steel ropes, only 1/7 of the weight of steel ropes, but also the possibility to implement sensors as well as intrinsic abilities. The industrialization follows the project by the company Gleistein.The following work is planned:For the applications of the standing ropes and running ropes, mainly Geo Gleistein, with the participation of the IFT, designs two different cable construction variants and rope diameters both under requirements from the later application as well as under requirements from the end termination and finally produced.Subsequently, IFT is will calculate, design an end connection and transfer the know-how to the company Gleistein. Thus, high-modular rope end terminations can be produced jointly at the Gleistein plant, which are also tested by means of sensor technology for the possibility of preventive maintenance during the serviceability tests described in AP 1.4. Tensile stress tests and bending tests are systematically carried out according to the intended application.The application limits of such cable systems are examined and limits of safe application are defined. Based on the results, the final goal is to systematically develop a theoretical time-stable model for the applications.The overall objective of this project is to strengthen Germany as a business location.
