Abstract
A three-dimensional model was developed to simulate lateral yarding wi th a running skyline yarder. The model utilizes the principle of virtu al work to solve for the line tensions and carriage position for vario us stages in the yarding process. It is able to accommodate the differ ent sets of unknowns which occur as yarding progresses from breakout t hrough inhaul.
