On secondary stresses in the bending of wire ropes

.
(1974)

Abstract

Wire ropes in bending are subject to secondary stresses in addition to the bending stress arising from rope curvature, because individual wires and strands cannot be displaced friction free from the compression to tha tension side in the curved rope•). This paper attempts to clarify such secondary stresses in the bending of wire ropes. The author first assumes a rope uniformly curved with a constant radius throughout its length. The second part of the paper examines a rope In contact with a sheave, where only one part is curved while the remainder is straight.
