GEOMETRY AND MECHANICS OF REGULAR STRANDED CONSTRUCTIONS
(1978)
Abstract
The mechanical stresses are investigated which a?e generated during the manufacturing
of regular strands which are built up from simple and double stranded elements
and hy the tensile and flexural loading of the ready-made strands. In order to introduce
the mechanical stresses, the equations and geometric parameters of the simple and
double stranded helicoidal lines as well as the space requirement and surface area of
the simple stranded elements of circular cross section are determined by making use of
the methods of the vector algebra. With the known value of the space requirement
of the stranded element, the relationships between the number of the elements in each
layer, the height of thread and size relation of the regular strand are determined in
the case of the penetration-free contact of the layers and elements.
