A Study on Structural Safety Evaluation of Cable Braided shields

Several cables for industrial application demand both high flexibility and durability because these are subject to a great deal of mechanical loading by nature of utilizing environment. In order to satisfy these requirements, the braided shields are included in cable structures. The braided shields of cables play an important role mechanically and electrically. However, due to the complex structure of cable braided shields, it is difficult to understand its structural characteristics experimentally. Therefore, an analytical prehension of mechanical behavior of cable braided shields is very important. In this study, in order to evaluate structural safety of cable braided shields, FE model of multi-core mining cable is constructed, stress-concentrated regions are confirmed.
