Area and Young's Modulus of Steel Wire Ropes 6

[IJR]

Friends

I need information on the cross-sectional area and Young's Modulus (Elastic Modulus) for Steel Wire Ropes. I am going to use the standard 6 x 19 steel-cored bridge cable but I have no catalogue showing the metallic area or Elastic Modulus to use. I need to model the cable so that I can take into account the displacement. The supplier will supply us stretched lengths (initial stretch taken care of).

Any input will be highly appreciated.

My respects,

ijr

The supplier will be able to provide the information you are looking for. They typically test frequently.

Attached is a wire rope catalog. Note, that they manufacture to ASTM A1023. I looked at the ASTM spec and it doesn't provide any requirement for E; that would imply 29,0000 ksi.

Because of the torsional component, E is less for wire rope than for steel bar.

BB: Excellent publication...

Thanks Dik.

Attached is the Tiger Rope Manual; forgot I had that one.
