Wire ropes that have a wide range of applications endure loads, stresses, strains, and moments while carrying out the duty of carrying loads. Wire ropes and strands are frequently used as load carrying elements due to their flexible structure and being reliable products. A prestressing steel strand is a form of the pattern of 1×6 helical wires which supply extra stiffness. Contact conditions between adjacent wires, helical geometry of wires at outer layers make it difficult to find the mechanic response of wire ropes or strands under axial load. A good way to overcome this difficulty is to perform a computer-aided simulation with finite element method. In this study, a prestressing strand having 11.11 mm diameter is computer-aided modeled by using SolidWorks, and then ANSYS Workbench is used to determine the mechanical response of the investigated rope strand. The findings indicate that results remained in the elastic region in all finite element simulations until the strain value of 0.00728. Keywords: prestressing strand, finite element method, tensile stress, strain, twisting moment.

“…They also numerically investigated the 100-mm long sample and presented the stress distributions within the rope. Wu (2014) [10] developed a numerical model of a wire rope subjected to tensile loads and compared the results to theoretical and experimental data taken from the literature. Foti et al (2016) [24] investigated the behavior of a strand under axial-torsional loads using a new analytical formulation and FEM simulations.…”

This paper presents research on the bending properties of 3 × 7 19-mm wire rope commonly used in road cable barriers. A total of 19 experimental tests were conducted. In addition, two nonlinear 3D numerical models of the wire rope using beam and solid finite elements were developed. Based on these models, four numerical simulations were carried out. The numerical results were validated against the experimental ones and a very good agreement was obtained. The main result of the research is the determination of the moment–curvature relationship for the wire rope considered. The effect of prestretching on the rope performance is discussed. The numerical results are analyzed in this paper in detail, including the behavior of the wire rope under bending and analyses of the cross-sectional and contact stresses. Suggestions concerning the type of finite element for wire rope modeling are also given. The results can be used, for example, in numerical simulations of crash tests of cable barriers.

“…Some researchers studied the different types of faults, their causes, how they affect the performance of the wire ropes. Researchers like Juan Wu [4]; studied the mechanical properties of the wire rope under tension using FEM. The results were compared with theoretical and experimental results.…”
