Analytical solutions for static elastic deformations of wire ropesThis paper develops closed-form solutions for extension of twisted wire ropes subjected to axial forces for two different end conditions. The analytical results are compared with the corresponding numerical results obtained by Costello and Phillips. A close agreement between the two establishes validity of the analytical solutions. Finally, an expression for the effective rigidity modulus of the wire ropes is obtained in terms of the helix angle and the number of helical wires in the rope for each of the two end conditions.
