Abstract
The elevator installed in high rise buildings needs a long traveling cable for its operation. Even though such a long cable is required, the shaft space is limited and the clearance between elevator devices and cable is very narrow. As the elevator also run faster in such buildings, the cable might induce large lateral vibration during a running condition. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the cable suspension shape and vibration in advance. In this paper, a new cable simulation model is proposed. The model is composed of divided masses and springs. As temperature variation affects the cable shape, the cable physical parameter is expressed by a function of temperature. The proposed simulation model is compared with several experiments, and the results show validity of the model.
