Thank you for the extra input. My system is not in full tension (at least when I start pulling). It's interesting whether one can exert force through a semi-rigid cord while there are still DOFs that can be streched and get to higher tension. Your comment about resonance is very important, but I...

Thank you both. Both answers were very helpful. I've started reading the article, and it seems to be just what I was looking for! Erandom

Hi all, I'm a physicist, and I'm now trying to understand and model a problem with a multishafted cord, being pulled from one side in order to transfer force. The cord has its own elastic properties (elongation, bending etc.), it goes through several pulleys with friction, and most likely its...
