A Complex Discretized 3D Wire Rope Model Creation and Its Numerical Analysis: 6x25 Filler IWRC

Abstract

6x25 Filler IWRC type ropes belong to 6x19 rope class. It is widely used in 6x19 wire rope class in almost all industrial sectors. Filler type rope has good balance in both wear and fatigue resistance. Drilling lines, cranes, lifting devices, bridges, oil drilling rig, elevators etc. are some of the usage areas. 25 Filler wire strand (1-6-6f-12) consists of two layers of uniform-size wire around a center wire with the inner layer and small filler wires are laid in the holes of the inner layer. In this paper, three-dimensional meshed model of 6x25 Filler IWRC was created by using parametric equations. Using the proposed three-dimensional model, a finite element analysis is conducted by applying displacement boundary condition to one end and encastre boundary condition is applied to the other end of the wire rope. The results of the analysis show that the proposed model can be used in analysis studies under different loading conditions.
