Analysis Of Contact Friction Behavior In The Bending Process Of Semi-parallel Steel Wire Cable

In the bending process of semi-parallel steel wire cable, with the increase of the lateral displacement of the bending, the interaction between the steel wires in the cable is remarkable and the mechanical behavior is complicated. In order to study the mechanical behavior of the contact friction between the inner steel wires in the process of cable bending, this paper uses the 37-φ7 semi-parallel steel wire as the research object, and uses the ANSYS to set up the finite element model of the cable bending, and verifies the correctness of the refined finite element model by bending test data. Based on the refined finite element model of the test data verification, the variation rule of the contact friction between the inner steel wires in the semi-parallel steel wire of different boundary conditions in the bending process is studied, and the axial sliding behavior of the steel wires in the cable bending process is analyzed. The results show that the bending and mechanical properties of the semi-parallel steel wire cable can be calculated more accurately by considering the refined finite element model of the contact friction, and the amount of deformation between the steel wires during the bending process of the semi-parallel steel wire cable can be calculated. The contact pressure and the contact friction stress are non-linear with the increase of the lateral displacement of the bending, and there is a maximum value for the contact friction stress for the pre-tension semi-parallel wire cable, and the maximum position of the axial accumulated slip amount between the steel wires is located at the bending cable section of the calculated span of 1/4 or 3/4 times.
