Scheme of the Failure Analysis Taking the Example of Profile Wire Breaks in the Support Cable of a Cable Car System

摘要

Cable car systems are predominantly used in the Alpine Region for the transportation of passengers and goods. During operation, their components are subjected to environmental influences as well as to static and dynamic loads. Even if standards, measurements, experimental tests, periodic inspections, and maintenance are considered, a component failure can not be entirely excluded. It is for that reason that cases of damage in the cable car industry are clarified based on systematic analyses aiming at prevention and an increase in security.
