PARAMETERS OPTIMIZATION OF PLASTICALLY COMPRESSED STEEL ROPE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE MECHANICAL AND SERVICE PROPERTIES
The finite-element modeling study circular compacted steel rope in four roller die. It is shown that this strain option provides a more favorable scheme of the state of stress in the deformation zone, compared with a reduction in the monolithic red tape with a minimum length of the wire drawing. Simulation showed growth rope tension force necessary to stretch it axially by 0.5%, with an increase in compression throughout the simulated range.
