The application of large twistings to a thin rope is known to lead to the formation and evolution of an intermediate cross kink. By using classical linear elastic structural mechanics, the branched equilibrium path, which is characterized by increasing torsional stiffness, has been obtained to describe the formation of the kink. Some energy considerations have also been formulated to explain why the rope moves along the branched path and generates the cross kink.
