Abstract: A theory is presented which will predict the stresses in a multilayered cable, subjected to axial, bending and torsional loads. In the axial case, the axial force and axial twisting moment ...

Abstract: A theory is presented which will predict the radial expansion of impacted helical springs. This becomes important in cases where the spring is surrounded by a cylindrical constraint because of ...

Abstract: The nonlinear, coupled equations of motion governing the axial and rotational displacements of a straight, single lay, twisted wire cable are presented. Linearization of the equations of motion ...

Abstract: A method is presented in which the axial viscoelastic response of a multiple filament strand, constrained by a no-end rotation boundary condition, may be predicted. This method is an initial ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented for the behavior of cord reinforced rubber composite plates taking into account the extension-twisting coupling of the cord based on an equilibrium formulation. ...

Abstract: The behavior of one-ply and two-ply laminated cord-rubber composite plates in uniaxial tension is presented. The plate mechanical properties are presented as functions of cord angle for various ...

Abstract: Stresses in the individual wires of complex wire rope are determined for rope constructions having an internal-wire-rope (IWRC). The ropes may be pulled, twisted, and bent over a sheave or ...

Abstract: A theory is presented which will predict the stresses in a single lay strand subjected to axial, bending and torsional loading when friction is present. Similar to the solution for the axial ...
