After a few weeks working on this project, I came up with two calculations which are driving me nuts. They give different values for the deflection and I believe it is a matter of working around with sag and strain for the wire rope. Can anyone comment on these two calcs I have attached as a...
Thanks CANPRO and JStephen. It has been my first time looking at deflection in wire ropes and this is also a parallel work I need to do for a much bigger project. Anyway, I was also wondering how is this new value for tension reacting with the pretension applied to the cable? Through T=Load...
Funny how I typo changes the situation a lot hahah
Yeah, an 8mm diameter is more house wire balustrade than a construction purpose wire rope... not even 150 kilos on it would do.
Anyway, I have this spreadsheet for calculating the deflection using the equations from my post sources' so an...
Hi,
I have searched for this topic and found similar questions but they are not applicable to my case.
I was wondering if I could get some help to find the deflection of a 7x7 wire rope upon vertical loading.
Scenario: A 10-meter 7x7 wire rope with diameter still to be decided (for now I am...
