Abstract
A complete theory of helical thin elastic rods is applied to analyze the effect of constraint
due to clamp or socket end connections on changes to the lay angles of the constituent wires in
multilayered cables. While the effect on stresses in the wires is small, the end connection causes
slipping to occur between the wires which could contribute to wear or fretting damage near the end
connection.
