Fatigue and length effects in fibre ropes
1992
The advances in high-performance fibres and their potential for use as tension members in bridges and other structures are outlined. The general length effect problems, which involve the weak-link effect and load sharing, are discussed in terms of limitations of understanding in theory and practice. Six fatigue mechanisms in fibre ropes are described, and their influence in length effects on parallel-lay and structured ropes illustrated by examples of analysis of the mechanics. RÉSUMÉ Les
