Abstract
The paper reviews and summarises the authors'
work on the properties of spiral strands, which has
concentrated on the influence of interwire contact
phenomena.
Results are presented for strands up to l)Omm
diameter, and for a wide range of practical lay angles,
covering:

(111)
axial atiffneaa and hyatereaia,
torsional stiffness and hysteresis of axially
preloaded strands, and
the bending behavior of axially preloaded
strands close to terminations, and in the free
field.
