This paper deals with the lateral vibration of the elevator rope, which is excited sinusoidally by the horizontal displacement at the both end of the rope due to wind. In case of high-rise building, elevator rope may have a problem to resonate to the natural frequency of the building. FDM analysis, considering the time-varying length of the rope and the distribution of the rope tension, are performed. And the effects of moving velocity of the cage on the maximum amplitude of the rope are quantitatively made clear.
