Abstract: A study is done to compare two models (that of Hobbs and Raoof from 1982, and that of Jolicoeur and Cardou from 1996) that use a semicontinuous approach to predict the behavior of multilayered wire strands under axial and ...

Abstract: Semicontinuous wire strand modeling is an approach by which each layer of a strand is mathematically represented by an orthotropic cylinder whose mechanical properties are chosen to match the behavior of its corresponding ...

Abstract: A general analytical solution is obtained for the stresses and displacements of an elastic body consisting of an assembly of coaxial hollow circular cylinders made of orthotropic material, with or without a core, and ...
