Frictional sliding strength of knotted and capstan configurations along the axis of a cylinder
Superlinear frictional sliding strength in clove-hitch and capstan filament-cylinder contacts arises from the coupled increase of normal force and contact arclength during tightening, as captured by elastica theory and confirmed by multi-material experiments and simulations.
