STATIC ANALYSIS OF SUSPENSION SYSTEMS WITH UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED VERTICAL LOAD

Based on classical principles of suspension system calculations, theoretical approaches are proposed for determining the geometric and force parameters of their supporting elements.The calculation of suspension systems with one or multiple spans is proposed to be performed by constructing and solving systems of transcendental equations.For finding solutions to such systems of equations, the graphical-analytical method and the method of successive approximations are used.The paper presents a schematic representation of the diagrams of vertical load, tensions, and sag of the supporting element of the suspension system, the results of numerical modeling (on specific examples), indicates the areas of possible use of the obtained results, and the prospects for further scientific research on the issues under consideration.
