Abstract: A differential equation capable of describing the full‐slip to no‐slip friction transition along a fractured wire in a parallel‐wire strand experiencing external hydrostatic pressure, by prestressed wrapping or intermittent ...

Abstract: A theoretical formulation has been proposed for obtaining upper bounds to single‐layer helical strand damping under cyclic bending to a constant radius of curvature. The model employs an alternative interwire/interlayer ...

Abstract: Parametric studies based on previously reported orthotropic sheet theory have been carried out on a number of realistic and multilayered helical‐strand constructions with widely different strand (and wire) diameters and ...
