Hello,
I am running the previous Abaqus model with changed loading magnitudes. Up to steps 8 my analysis can't converge. I have tried to use *controls to adjust the convergence criteria. But I am not familiar with it. I got the warning and error messages saying too many attempts. My input step...
Hello Everyone,
Uniform wrapping pressure induced by one layer of wire rope wounding around the drum can be estimated as
P=F/Rm b
P is the line pull tension at each th layer
Rm is the radius of turns of wire rope on drum (PCD/2)
b is the wire rope diameter
This assumes uniform pressure...

Hello all,
This might be the unsolved problem in the industry.
Came across the problem of solving the stresses in the winch drum subjected to multi-layers of wire rope. I am using FEA to model the scenario and requires the compression pressure when it is subjected to wire...
