Geometry-Dependent Tensile Load Capacity and Fracture Characteristics of Steel Wire Ropes: A Finite Element Parametric Study
Highlights Baseline FEA framework was experimentally validated via 1 × 7 rope tensile tests. Numerical studies show geometric parameters govern load capacity and fracture modes. Simulations predict a 1.00 mm core diameter increases peak tensile force by 9.6%. Numerical models indicate that the hybrid SWR-S3 configurati...
