Abstract

occurred on strands and wire ropes by means of computer simulations. Ghoreishi et al. (2007) evaluated the validity the results from nine linear elastic models of a 6+1 wire single layered strand (simple straight strand) subjected to static axial loads being compared with values from 3D finite element modeling. Wang et al. (2015) CATIA V5 and MATLAB were used for implementation of derived geometric equations and calculation of mathematic optimal rope models. Elata et al. (2004) proposed a new model for simulating the mechanical response of a wire rope with an independent wire rope core. In contrast with previous models that consider the effective response of wound strands, their model fully considers the double-helix configuration of individual wires within the wound strand. Jiang et al. (1999) presented an accurate and general strand model using the finite element method. The model was capable of predict the global behavior of simple straight. Jiang et al. (2000)
