Abstract: The post‐buckling behavior of a simple column guyed in a plane by symmetric guy wires is considered. The column is built‐in at the ground, and the structure is loaded by a single vertical force

Abstract: An analytical method is presented for the determination of length, measured from the fractured end of the wire, in which the wire will be able to carry its appropriate share of the load. The estimate of this effective ...

Abstract: Wire rope is a structural element that is generally used to resist relatively large axial loads in comparison to bending and torsional loads. In many cases, rope is subjected to impact loads that send axial and torsional ...

Abstract: The behavior of one‐ply and two‐ply unidirectional cord‐rubber composite plates in pure bending is presented. The model developed takes in account the extension‐twisting coupling of the cord, as well as the exact location ...

Abstract: A method is presented in which the time‐dependent creep response of a three‐filament cord, constrained by a no‐end rotation boundary condition, may be predicted. This method is an initial attempt to describe the viscoelastic ...

Abstract: The deformation response of a simple cord composite to an axial load and twisting moment was found analytically. The simple cord composite consists of a metallic cord surrounded by a concentric circular cylindrical matrix ...

Abstract: A theory is developed to predict the static response of a wire rope with complex cross sections. The solutions of the nonlinear equations of equilibrium are linearized, and the results are applied to a
