| dc.description.abstract | The methods for calculating the catenary droop of a wire or cable hanging from fixed supports are well understood. For many common web materials, catenary droop or sag is not a consideration but for webs having a significant lineal mass density and low web tension, catenary droop may be significant. Applying the well known catenary equations to a web handling system with roller supports poses some interesting computational challenges and also some unexpected results. A computational method will be presented that can reliably solve the catenary equations for an arbitrary web span geometry. Catenary sag (from a straight line web path), web tension along the web span and the length of web hanging in the span can all be obtained from this solution method. | |
