Their rigid nature makes them undesirable foradaption to existing structures with confined areas; locations that may experience severemechanical vibrations; operate in extremely high temperatures; and where rapid temperaturedrop exists. The TEDs become a constraint when incorporating them in designs with varyingcontours. A flexible TED design is therefore desired to

(Figure 1). The first few weeks of the lecture course are concernedwith a review of stress analysis under mixed loading conditions and column buckling. This isfollowed by the development of static failure criteria. In the lab, students apply techniques forpredicting failure to the design and analysis of the cable support poles and the chair or gondola.The lecture course then launches into a multi-week study of high-cycle fatigue. This study offatigue is concluded just as students are moving to the design of the lift drive system in the lab.This requires them to perform fatigue analysis of drive components. Students also study theprinciples of operation of AC motors and learn to select commercially-produced gear reducers aspart of the drive system
