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: 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 ...
