Synthetic mooring ropes have a proven track record of use in harsh operating conditions
over the past two decades. As one of the main users of ropes for permanent mooring …

Yarns of fiber assemblies such as ropes would abrade with each other during repeated
stretching or bending. The yarn on yarn abrasion failure is a main reason for the final …

With the development of lightweight engineering, load-bearing structures such as synthetic
fiber ropes are being increasingly used in engineering projects. During the process of …

In the field of cable modeling, many models have been proposed to describe the mechanical
behavior of simple straight strands under axial loading, and the predictions of these models …

In this paper the mathematical geometric models of the single-lay wire strands and double-
lay wire ropes with defined initial parameters are presented. The present geometric models …

A new model characterizing the response of a multi-strand wire rope subjected to axial
tension and axial torque is presented in this paper. Apart from most of previous approaches …

In this paper a new mathematical geometric model of spiral one or two-layered oval wire
strands are proposed and an accurate computational two-layered oval strand 3D solid …

A finite element approach to the mechanical behavior of braided ropes at the scale of their
internal components is proposed in this paper. The ropes considered are composed of a few …

The aim of this article is to introduce a new theoretical procedure for modelling wire ropes
subjected simultaneously to tensile and torsional loads. The procedure is based upon the …

Twisting attracts more attention in adjusting the mechanical behavior and failure mechanism
of materials, which could be implemented to understand and design the deformation …
