Greenhill's Formula and the Mechanics of Cable Hockling

Discussion: “Cable Kink Analysis: Cable Loop Stability Under Tension” (Yabuta, T., Yoshiziwa, N., and Kojima, N., 1982, ASME J. Appl. Mech., 49, pp. 584–588)

“…A more detailed discussion of the kinking problem and its relationship is Greenhills' work may be found in references [3] and [4].…”

“…Although we did not compare theoretical results with experimental results in the original paper, since then we have made the comparison, the results of which are discussed in reference [4]. Reference [4] also shows cable kink deformation modes from a cable slack viewpoint, which is a main factor during cable laying.…”
