Pulsating Tension Fatigue Strength and Cyclic Stress-Strain Response of Wire Ropes

Modeling of multi-strand wire ropes subjected to axial tension and torsion loads

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 frommost of previous approaches which deal with a straight wire strand, the present model fully considers the double-helix structure in multi-strand configuration. To be further, a new method to compute local deformation parameters (two curvatures and...

A Unified Fatigue and Fracture Model Applied to Steel Wire Ropes

Combining Structure and Appearance for Anomaly Detection in Wire Ropes

We present a new approach for anomaly detection in the context of visual surface inspection. In contrast to existing, purely appearancebased approaches, we explicitly integrate information about the object geometry. The method is tested using the example of wire rope inspection as this is a very challenging problem. A perfectly regular 3d model of the rope is aligned with a sequence of 2d rope ...

The effects of wire diameter and an additional lateral wire on pin and tension-band fixation subjected to cyclic loads.

Despite reports of frequent complications, pin and tension- band wire remains the most common repair of simple olecranon fractures and osteotomies. A recent mechanical study found wire diameter to be the key determinant of pin and tension-band construct strength; models with 1.25-mm wire were much stronger than those with standard 1.0-mm wire exposed to single loads to failure. Additionally, fi...

Stress–strain response and microstructural evolution of a FeMnCAl TWIP steel during tension–compression tests

The stress–strain response of a Fe–17.5Mn–0.7C–2Al TWIP steel during cyclic loading has been investigated by means of tension–compression tests within the strain limits of 72%, 75% and 710%. In addition, the microstructural evolution during the 75% cyclic test has also been studied. The difference between the forward and reverse stress for each pre-strain has been analyzed at 0.2% offset strain...
