Research on Axial Elastic Modulus Finite Element Simulation of Wire Strands for Ropeway
Axial elastic modulus is an important mechanical property of wire strands for ropeway,which affects the selection of wire stands in ropeway design.It applies differential geometry theory to derive the parameter equation of the center line of wire strands,and a 3D model of the wire strands with lay length is established by Creo.The 3D model files are imported into Hyper-mesh to divide meshes and set boundary conditions.Finally,using Abaqus to calculate the deformation and equivalent stress cloud diagram of the wire strands,the relationship between tension and the equivalent elastic modulus is obtained.The results show that when axial tension is small,the wire stands equivalent elastic modulus increases with the increase of the tension.After the tensile force reaches a certain value,the equivalent elastic modulus is stable at0.64times of the wire strands material.
