Abstract: Closed-form solutions are developed for elastic deformation characteristics of multilayered strands under tensile and torsional loads. These analytical results are successfully applied to obtain ...

Abstract: This papers develops closed-form solutions for the extension of twisted wire ropes with fibrous cores which are subjected to axial forces as well as axial moments. The analytical results are ...

Abstract: The fundamental theory of wire ropes developed by Costello and Phillips is utilized to obtain closed-form expressions for maximum contact stresses in single strand cables with fibrous cores. ...
