Abstract
A static and a quasi-static cyclic bending of a cantilever cable is
considered in order to investigate the friction losses in cables. It is assumed
that slippage due to twisting of wires is a source of internal friction. Slippage
takes place within finite segments along the wire. It starts near the damp and
then propagates along the cable with the increase in load. The load-deflection
characteristic becomes essentially nonlinear after the load exceeds some critical
magnitude below which there is no slippage. Two types of hysteretic loops are
investigated: (1) Local, characterizing losses in a wire cross section; and (2) global,
associated with the point of load application. It is shown that the local loop is
symmetrical and dosed and that a unique correspondence exists between a load
versus twisting characteristic of a wire in a simple bending and friction losses
in this cross section in a cyclic bending. Similar correspondence between global
characteristics of a cable is introduced. Numerical results for a one lay cable are
given.
