Field Trip - Hands On Rope Testing
Field MeetingField|Dr Bob Mehew

Abstract
The field trip will be a visit to the near by Bradford Pothole Club's Rope Test Rig located at their hut in Horton in Ribblesdale. The rig together with a tensile tester will be shown in action. Together, these rigs provide an ability to both dynamically and statically test rope. The aim of the trip will be to provide an opportunity to discuss in depth the design and operation of the instrumentation and see it in action. Data processing techniques will also be on show.
Attendees can either turn up and stop for as long as they wish or attend all day. The session will last from 10am to 4pm. Hot refreshments (but not food) will be available. The hut is accessible via a train ride together with a 3km walk but hopefully we an organize sharing of private vehicles. An indication of interest should be lodged at the on site mobile rope test rig which will be operational through out the week. The date of the trip will be set closer to the event.
