Welcome
to the Catenary site! Here, on this site you can learn about
the catenary and how it’s derived. With the caternary function you can
describe a cord hanging at two points. Mooring systems, but also telpher
carriers or two-point-hanging wires are examples of systems where the
catenary can be applied. If you want to know
more about the catenary, visit The
Catenary link. With the mathematical derivation of
the catenary you can easily see how all the formulas are derived, step by
step. There is also a calculation program included, where you can fill
in all kind of parameters and see how the catenary will be drawn. On the Did-you-know’s 1,2 en 3 you can three interesting facts about the
catenary.
