Predicting running skyline performance based on the mechanical capability of the yarder

Creator:

Wilbanks, Samuel James

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for determining running skyline yarder performance based on the mechanical characteristics of the yarder and its interaction with the load and the terrain. A code for implementing this procedure on the HP-9020 will be prepared .

Optimization of cable logging layout using a heuristic algorithm for network programming

Creator:

Chung, Woodam

Abstract:

Designing timber harvesting units is a challenging task. The task requires decision making on logging equipment, landing site, cable road profile, road location, and transportation system. Traditionally forest planners have done the task manually. However, the manual method makes it difficult to examine many alternatives and the harvest plans depend...

Dissertation
Development of a cable logging system analysis package for micro-computers

Creator:

Chung, Joosang

Abstract:

A computer program package to estimate cable yarding payload capability was made. The package was intended to expand applicability of existing packages and to be user friendly. It has six system options: live skyline, standing skyline, running skyline, slackline, multispan and highlead. In the standing skyline and multispan analyses, load...
