Abstract

Numerical model and finite element analysis of an independent wire rope core (IWRC) which is bent over a sheave is investigated in this paper. 3-D solid model of the IWRC is constructed by using mesh generation techniques first. Then, problem of wire rope bending over sheave is considered. Finite element model is constructed and analyzed for a wire rope bent over sheave problem here. Two different lengths of IWRCs are analyzed for bending problem, a 9mm and a 300mm lengths respectively. Force distribution within an IWRC is presented by obtained wire-by-wire based numerical results. This analysis gives insight of the wire rope behavior while it is bent over sheave. Using the proposed analysis technique, stress distributions within an IWRC can be obtained for each wire composing the whole geometry.
