The cable-based energy dissipating system (CEDS) is promising to the vibration reduction of
towers by transforming the bending deformation of the main structure into the movement of …

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) cables are an attractive material for bridge cables
due to their light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance properties. However …

With the increasing spacing of large-span structures, the application of ultra-high-strength
steel wire with a strength approaching or exceeding 2000 MPa is rapidly expanding …

The effective and safe use of wire ropes in various applications relies on a comprehensive
understanding of the fretting fatigue phenomena that occur between internal wires …

This paper presents an experimental study on the post-fire static and fatigue properties of
steel wires, which is the basic component of bridge suspender. In these tests, the effect of …

The longitudinal vibration of the multi-layer winding hoisting wire rope is inevitable due to
the time-varying dead weight and the fluctuation of hoisting acceleration. Longitudinal …

Due to creep characteristics of wood, long-term loading can cause a significant stress loss of
steel bars in reinforced glulam beams and high long-term deflection of the beam midspan. In …

To evaluate the interactions between hydrogen and the mechanical behavior of additively
manufactured (AM) 17-4PH martensitic stainless steel (MSS), stress-relaxation tests were …

Stress relaxation happens to a wire cable that is often wrapped around a pulley during a
long-term service process, which causes mechanical performance degradation of the wire …

In view of the serious friction and wear on the surface of a hoisting wire rope caused by the
failure of lubrication under severe hoisting conditions, a study on the tribological …
