A Study of Parameters That Influence Wire-Rope Fatigue Life

Abstract

The objective of this research program was to investigate the influence of various parameters on the fatigue life of wire rope through well controlled and statistically planned laboratory bend-over-sheave fatigue experiments. Parameters studied included three operating loads for ropes subjected to both simple single-sheave bending and two-sheave reverse bending. A total of 288 rope specimens were cycled to failure, and the results were analyzed statistically to determine which parameters had a significant influence on rope life.
