This document compares continuous and discontinuous rigging systems. Continuous rigging has each shroud terminate at the top and bottom of each mast panel, while discontinuous rigging has each shroud terminate at the top of the mast only. Discontinuous rigging is commonly used for grand prix racing yachts and large superyachts as it requires low maintenance and performs well under high loads. The document also discusses wire rope stretch and how to calculate elastic stretch based on applied load, wire length, strand modulus, and cross-sectional area.

STRETCH IN WIRE ROPE For More Information Contact
American Rigging Supply, Inc. All wire ropes and strands stretch under load. The amount of stretch is determined by two components, permanent stretch and elastic stretch. PERMANENT STRETCH is caused by settling of the wires in the rope or strand when the initial load is applied. DYFORM strand gives very little, if any, permanent stretch as this is removed during the manufacturing process. ELASTIC STRETCH is typical of any metallic material under load and elastic stretch will be proportional to the applied load (Hookes Law). Resistance to stretch is determined by the “modulus of elasticity” .
Rather than using Youngs Modulus for the material of the strand, we quote a STRAND MODULUS. Load extension data from an actual strand is used together with the nominal diameter of the strand to calculate the cable modulus. This gives a direct comparison between strand types.
NITRONIC 50 ELASTIC STRETCH MAY BE CALCULATED FROM THE FORMULA:- WxL DYFORM 1X 19 Elastic stretch (mm) = ExA where W = Applied Load (KN) L = Wire Length (mm) COMPOSITE FIBER ROD LOAD
E = Strand modulus (KN/mm2)
A = Cross sectional wire area = D2 x π 1 X 19 4 where D = Nominal Diameter (mm)
Typical values for E are:
Conventional 1 x 19 Wire 107.5 KN/mm2 15.59 x 106 psi Dyform 1 x 19 Wire 133.7 KN/mm2 19.39 x 106 psi Nitronic 50 Rod Rigging 193.0 KN/mm2 28.00 x 106 psi Pultruded Kevlar Rod 124.0 KN/mm2 18.00 x 106 psi EXTENSION HIGH ELASTIC MODULUS GIVES LOW STRETCH
