The multilevel helical structures in various engineering and natural fields offer excellent
deformation flexibility and load bearing capabilities. Understanding the interplay between …

Tribo-fatigue behaviors of steel wire rope under bending fatigue with the variable tension
were presented in this study. A self-made bending fatigue test apparatus of steel wire rope …

Wear is one of the primary factors for the degradation of the wire rope used for multi-layer
winding hoist. It decreases the carrying capacity and service life of the hoisting rope, which …

Broken wires are a common damage in stay cables due to aging and harsh environment.
However, the analytical method to study the effect of broken wires on the mechanical …

Cable-stayed bridges, of which there are up to 500 around the world, are often the first
choice for long-span bridges. As stay cables increase in service life, rust becomes the most …

In the field of cables and wire ropes modeling, many different approaches have been
developed over the years to simulate the mechanical response of such structural …

Previous investigations on corrosive evolutions are mainly based on the parallel wire stay
cables, and related discussions on semi-parallel wire cables are limited. The semi-parallel …

Accurate and efficient dynamic analysis is essential for the reliable operation and optimal
design of the wire rope hoisters. However, traditional 3D finite element (FE) methods require …

At present, Section integrity hypothesis is mostly used to analyze the mechanical properties
and identify the damage of the cable. Based on the actual situation and considering the slip …

In this study, a geometric model of a 7× 19 steel wire rope with gaps between the wires is
established by applying the Frenet frame used in the differential geometry theory. The …
