Characteristics of fibre-core wire rope

Abstract The theoretical analysis of a large-diameter stranded wire rope with fibre core, using results from a previously reported orthotropic sheet model for analysing the behaviour of its constituent helical strands, is reported. The present model is (unlike previously available theories for stranded wire ropes) capable of catering for the effects of interwire friction and contact deformations. The proposed theory provides a fairly simple means of obtaining the upper (no-slip) and lower (full-slip) bounds to rope effective stiffness coefficients under axial/torsional coupling with encouraging correlations found between the theoretical predictions for the axial stiffness under full-slip conditions and experimental data for some realistic stranded wire ropes with fibre cores.
