Finite element analysis on the stress state of rope hoisting equipment based on the ABAQUS
This paper presents a simulation of the steel wire rope of a certain type hoisting equipment to explore the distributions of stress and deformation in the process of lifting heavy loads. The SolidWorks software was used to establish the 3D solid model of the 6*6+WS structure of stone cross strand wire rope for a certain lifting equipment. Then the solid model of steel wire rope was imported into the ABAQUS directly through the SolidWorks and ABAQUS interface plugin, the material properties were defined, the contact pairs were established, the model was meshed, and the constraints were applied to solve the finite element model. In the normal working range of the wire rope, axial tension of 5000 N was loaded to analyse the stress and deformation distributions. The results show that the stress of wire rope presents a space spiral distribution and the stress of the lateral steel wire of the rope strand is the largest of the steel wire rope, which will provide reference for the design and improvement of the steel wire rope.
Effect of various kinematic parameters of mine hoist on fretting parameters of hoisting rope and a new fretting fatigue test apparatus of steel wires
The effect of various kinematic parameters of mine hoist on fretting parameters of the hoisting rope was investigated and a new fretting fatigue test apparatus was designed. A simulation model of the rope tension was presented to examine the role of various kinematic parameters on the rope tension and tension amplitude during lifting. Ranges of fretting parameters of the rope during lifting with different kinematic parameters were determined. The results show that different kinematic parameters induce different modal shapes of the vibrating systems during lifting, which results in distinct ranges of fretting parameters of the rope.
Static Behavior of Wire Rope
A method for determing the static response of a wire rope with a cross section consisting of wire strands has been developed. The method is an extension of previous work and requires the bending, torsional, and axial stiffnesses of each thin initially curved strand. Expressions are presented for these stiffnesses and a typical plot is shown of the axial strain of a wire rope as a function of the axial load for various end twisting moments.
