Capstan equation: History & Applications

The capstan equation or belt friction equation, also known as the Euler-Eytelwein formula describes the tension required to cause slippage of a flexible line (such as a rope, wire rope, or a belt) that is wound around a cylinder and tensioned on its opposite side. Flexible lines tensioned on curved surfaces create normal forces and corresponding friction…
