Theory of Wire Rope (Mechanical Engineering Series) - Hardcover
Book 31 of 78: Mechanical Engineering
Synopsis
Considerable progress has been made in the development of models to predict the response of wire ropes and to determine the effects of variations in the design on its performance. The book begins with the equations of equilibrium for a thin curved wire in space, before going on to solve these equations, and apply them to determine the stresses in a simple strand. These results are then extended to ropes with more complex cross sections. Numerous examples are worked out to illustrate the theory and the test results discussed. This second edition includes new chapters on tension and compression of a cord, fatigue, and approximations. Intended for graduate students and practising engineers, this makes for a comprehensive theoretical review of the subject.

"This volume is concerned with the various theories of the mechanical behavior of wire rope. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the development of models used to predict the response of ropes. Since there are so many parameters that can vary in the construction of a rope, such models can be used to determine the effects of possible variations of these parameter on the performance of a rope.The approach used in this book is to start out with the equations of equilibrium for a thin curved wire in space. A solution of these equations is found, and the results are applied to determine the stresses in a simple strand. These results are then extended to ropes with more complex cross sections. Numerous examples are worked out to illustrate the theory. Test results are also discussed." (rear cover). Seller Inventory # 16398
