Cables are slender structural elements, that are found in many engineering structures and are exposed to large displacements while experiencing small or large local strains during their installation or in dynamic environments. To address the complexity of their inner structure, an effective material model with anisotropic properties in the elastic and elastoplastic domain is utilized, allowing for...
The mechanical characterisation of cables can help improving the production and lifetime of various products, for example a robotic arm. Cables however form a class of composite structures, that is highly anisotropic and dissipates energy due to the reorientation of its constituents which is superimposed by the dissipation due to the deformation of the polymer components. Cables also have a degree...
Cables are slender structures with a complex geometry, that can undergo large deformations during their installation or in dynamic environments. In combination with their complex inner structure they pose a challenging problem for finite element simulations. In this article a simplified approach is presented to model cables by using an effective material and a homogeneous cross‐section, which is anisotropic...
