Abstract: A rope system adapted to be connected between first and second structures comprises a rope recoil system comprising first and second rope recoil assemblies. The first rope recoil assembly defines a first length and a first predetermined rope recoil maximum limit at which the first rope recoil assembly fails when under tension. The second rope recoil assembly defines a second length, where the second length is longer than the first length. The rope recoil assembly is arranged between the first and second structures such that the rope recoil system is in a first configuration. When at least one of the first and second structures moves away from another of the first and second structures, the first rope recoil assembly fails and the rope recoil system reconfigures into a second configuration.

Abstract: A tapered rope structure comprises a first rope region, a second rope region, and a splice region. The splice region is between the first and second rope regions and comprises a taper portion, a finish portion, and an overlap portion. The finish portion is arranged between the taper portion and the first rope region. The overlap portion is arranged between the taper portion and the second rope region. A diameter of the first rope region is smaller than a diameter of the second rope region. A diameter of the overlap portion is greater than the diameter of the second rope region. A diameter of the splice region generally decreases from the overlap portion to the first rope region.

Abstract: A round sling includes a line arranged to define a plurality of loops and a plurality of organizers. The organizers engage the line such that each of the plurality of loops defines a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. The first and third segments extend between the first and second ends of the round sling. The second and fourth segments define the first and second ends of the round sling. At least one first segment of at least one of the loops crosses over at least one first segment of at least one other loop. The second and fourth segments of the loops defining the first and second ends of the round sling are maintained in a fixed, substantially parallel relationship.

Abstract: A rope structure contains first and second sets of fibers. The first set of fibers is twisted together. The second set of fibers is twisted around the first set of fibers to form yarns. The first set of fibers is formed of a first material, the second set of fibers is formed of a second material, and elongation of the first set of fibers is different from elongation of the second set of fibers. Twists applied to the first and second fibers are such that loads on the rope structure are substantially evenly distributed across individual fibers. The yarns are combined to form strands in the form of a 3-strand rope. The strands are combined using a single braid process to form the rope structure defining a void space. The rope structure is formed such that lengths of fibers in the first and second sets are approximately the same.

Abstract: A soft shackle is provided that incorporates a locking mechanism that prevents or limits travel of a loop from passing back over a shackle knot caused by slippage when not under tension of a load. The locking mechanism controls the loop's ability to expand in size, such as through a positive locking force or establishes a safety factor with respect to the size of the loop needed to slip over the knot, or both.

Abstract: A non-destructive evaluation method for fiber rope comprises the following steps. A rope construction type is identified. An expected life of the rope construction type is determined. At least two characteristics of the rope construction types are identified. A characteristic adjustment factor is stored for at least one of the at least two characteristics. At least one rope characteristic interaction between at least two of the identified rope characteristics is identified. An interaction adjustment factor is stored for the at least one identified rope characteristic interaction. An adjusted remaining life is calculated based the expected life, the at least one characteristic adjustment factor, and the at least one interaction adjustment factor.

Abstract: A hook assembly comprises a hook member and a pin assembly. The hook member defines a base portion, a hook, and first and second pin arms. The hook extends from the base portion and defines a first, second, third, and fourth hook portions and a hook opening. First and second lock projections extend from the second hook portion and fourth hook portions to define a lock gap. The hook opening has a first hook opening dimension extending between the second hook portion and the fourth hook portion and a second opening dimension extending between the third hook portion and the lock gap. The first and second pin arms extend from the base portion. The pin assembly engages the first and second pin arms. The first rope segment engages the pin assembly and the second rope segment engages the third hook portion to place the hook assembly under tension.

Abstract: A method for non-destructively estimating a current physical condition of a cordage product in-service is described. The method involves obtaining sensor data associated with the cordage product while in-service handling a load. The sensor data includes any combination of cordage product elongation data, applied load data, and diametric data. The method further includes determining an axial stiffness value associated with the cordage product based on the sensor data and estimating a health state of the cordage product based on the determined axial stiffness value. The estimated health state is indicative of the current physical condition of the cordage product.
