Given Enough Rope

Synopsis: All ropes require certain basic properties such as suitable tensile strength and resistance to wear and corrosion, whatever their final application to enable them to perform predictably in a particular environment. Looks at the production and testing of ropes and the steel wires of polymer fibres from which they are made, and assesses how certain characteristics favour the choice of rope in a given situation.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
