Effective Length of Fractured Wires and a Fatigue Analysis of Wire Rope

This work is initially concerned with a determination 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 strand and a wire rope with a complex cross section. The effects of the variation of geometrical data of the simple strand on the contact loads between the wires are also studied.
