Wire ropes are stressed by: Direct stress: The weight of the rope and the axial load lifted Bending stress: When the rope winds around the sheave or drum Stresses during starting and stopping Stress due to change in speed Effective stress  Wire ropes are also stressed by fluctuating forces, wear, corrosion, and in rare cases, extreme forces.  Some typical failure modes of wire ropes include: Fracture, Wear, Corrosion, Geometric failure, Thermal failure.  The stress at the middle cross section of wire rope is symmetrically distributed. The average stress level of IWS is higher than... Show more
