Vibration analysis and fatigue design of wire rope
… are investigated: the transverse vibration of wire rope, and the fatigue design of wire rope.

On Path Independence of Axially Loaded Wire Rope Strands
… strand, a multilayer strand, and a three-wire strand to assess the relationship between various strand parameters and path independence for these three cases.

Effective Length of Fractured Wires and a Fatigue Analysis of Wire Rope
… of the contact loads and stresses between the wires in a wire rope under axial loading. The rope is regarded as a collection of smooth helical rods. The determination of the contact stresses between wires is based on the solution of Hertz's contact problem. The results are applied to a simple …

Bending of an Axially Loaded Strand With Friction and the Mechanics of Wire Rope Reinforced Cylinders
… of a strand, the curvatures and twist of the wires in bending are estimated and the loads required for equilibrium are obtained by solving the six nonlinear, differential equations of equilibrium of a thin wire. The stresses due to bending are then superimposed on the stresses in the wires due …

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Axially Loaded Wire Ropes
… static and dynamic behavior of axially loaded wire rope. The longitudinal, torsional, and transverse displacements are determined for a rope which is initially straight in the reference configuration and loaded by an axial force and twisting moment. The static response of wire rope is analyzed …

Wired for Business: The Roebling Story.
… bridge designer while establishing the American wire rope industry. Without Roebling's innovation in wire-rope, modern suspension bridges, high-rise elevators, construction cranes, and cable cars would not have been possible. Yet historians have virtually ignored Roebling and other civil …

Static response of cord composite plates
Wire rope reinforced composites have many technologically important applications. These composites are used in automobile tires, conveyer belts, and various military components. This particular combination of materials is especially effective when the composite material needs to be strong in …

Viscoelastic response of wound polymer cord with multiple filament cross-sections
In this thesis, the Theory of Wire Rope, developed by George Costello, is modified to include the time-dependent response of twisted polymer fibers under an applied axial load. This modified theory incorporates the cord material's response by utilizing the Wiechert model and the Schapery …

Mechanical development of an actuation system for a parabolic solar trough collector
… a double rod end hydraulic actuator connected to wire rope wrapped around a capstan drum and an idler pulley. The model was optimized for mechanical performance, and it is expected to be a more cost effective option than the existing actuation system in New Hampshire once the controls equipment …

Design and analysis of hydraulically driven actuation system For a parabolic solar trough
… motion is achieved through a pulley and a wire rope system, actuated by a single, double action double rod cylinder. As this project funding was received from our sole sponsor, an Italian multinational energy company, during the design process the ultimate goal of eventual production line …

Evaluation of four rugged long-term velocity measurement methods for assessment of hydrokinetic energy production
… inertial measurement unit sensor, tension on the wire rope connecting the buoy to the riverbed anchor using a strain gauge sensor, vortex-induced vibration of the mooring line also using an inertial measurement unit sensor, and sound of the water flowing around the buoy using a microphone sensor. …

The Southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimm., and associated Coleoptera attracted to dead loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L.
… was accomplished by guying the trees with 3.2 mm wire rope to maintain the trees' normal vertical position. The bole was then severed with a chain saw. The control trees were not treated in any manner. The insects associated with the treated and control trees were trapped with a four-way glass …

Modellierung und Simulation der Beanspruchung von Zugsträngen aus Stahllitze für Zahnriemen
In dieser Arbeit wird das Verhalten von gewickelten Seilen aus Stahllitze unter Zug- und Biegebelastung mit Hilfe der Methode der Finiten Elemente untersucht. Ausgehend von dem Modell einer einfachen Litze mit einem Kern- und sechs Außendrähten erfolgt eine ausführliche Analyse der …
