Theoretical foundations of modeling the process of transport vehicles steel ropes structural defects formation

The article presents materials on the study of mathematical modeling of splicing (binding) of steel rope used to transmit traction by friction. The developed mathematical model splicing (binding) describes the stress-strain state of strands (wires) from quasistatic loads, arising in the cyclic tension process and bending of steel rope on rope sheave, in which the resultant force in steel rope cross section is shifted relative to the central axis, causing it to bend and torsion. Using experimental data, it was found that the steel rope torsion and bending is caused by the linking technology in the nodes where strands are replaced. Experimentally established, that defects on the splicing (binding) site manifested as a result of cyclic tensile and bending loads on rope sheave, which is connected to limited mobility of the strands in nodes due to cross section symmetry violation
