Review text

Ropes of a characteristic length are modelled from the knowledge of the statistical properties of the constituent elements, and the weakest-link concept is employed to extend the results to long ropes. From the model, analysis of parallel-lay ropes with nonlinear stress-strain relationships can be carried out and the study of the variability effects on ropes, due to the scatter in elements' characteristics, is permitted. The variability in the element stiffness has a profound effect on the bundle strength. The scatter in the element cross-sectional area increases the bundle strength slightly, albeit by an insignificant amount.
