Abstract
The maximum traction that can be developed in sheave grooves is a function of the actual coefficient of friction between the rope and the groove. The coefficient of friction is presented in different ways for every type of groove form. In this paper an expression for the pressure distribution on the contact surface of round and/or U-shaped groves is obtained, and the friction coefficient of the groove forms is determined by the stress-function method.
