Narrow Fabrics, Tapes & 3D Weaving
Treats a braid as the mechanism it is: from a starting and finishing braid angle it returns the extension, the diameter it necks down to, the change in enclosed volume, the geometric limit of extension available, and how far the construction sits from the 54.74 degree angle at which a braided tube is neutral under internal pressure.

Narrow Fabrics, Tapes & 3D Weaving
Turns a published bobbin volume into the run a braider actually gets: yarn mass and length per bobbin, how fast each carrier draws it at the braid angle, the minutes and metres before the creel is empty, and the effective output once the change time is charged against every cycle.
Calculator
Ropeway, Cable & Webbing Dynamics
Predicts viscoelastic creep in Dyneema and UHMWPE rope under sustained load: creep rate after load and temperature correction, accumulated permanent strain, elongation over the rope length and service hours to a retirement strain limit.
Calculator
Cordage, Ropes & Heavy Netting
Compares rope terminations: strength retained by a splice against a knot, the advantage that represents, the additional bend loss over the eye at a given D/d ratio, and the working load the combination leaves.
Calculator
Ropeway, Cable & Webbing Dynamics
Works through webbing sling capacity for a lift: effective working load limit from hitch type, leg count and sling angle, actual tension per leg, utilisation against the rated capacity, horizontal crushing force and the shallowest angle the load permits.
Calculator
Ropeway, Cable & Webbing Dynamics
Calculates anchor loading on a tensioned line: tension from a walker at midspan and from the webbing self-weight separately, total line tension, sag angle, the multiple of body weight reaching the anchors and the minimum sag a tension limit requires.
Calculator
Cordage, Ropes & Heavy Netting
Converts rope lay geometry into strength: helix angle from lay length and rope diameter, the cosine-squared twist efficiency it implies, total conversion efficiency after process losses, and the finished rope strength against the aggregate fibre strength.
Calculator
Ropeway, Cable & Webbing Dynamics
Models how ageing lines distort wing trim: absolute shortening of the front and rear cascades, the differential between them, the angle of attack change it produces, the resulting trim angle and the shift in trim speed.
Calculator
Cordage, Ropes & Heavy Netting
Calculates trawl net drag from mesh geometry and towing speed: solidity ratio, mesh opening, effective blocked area, total hydrodynamic drag force, drag per square metre and the towing power it demands.
Calculator
Ropeway, Cable & Webbing Dynamics
Estimates the life of flat synthetic hoist belts over steel sheaves: bending strain from belt thickness and pulley diameter, cycles to retirement, bends accumulated per day, service life in days and years, and the sheave diameter a target life requires.
