The invention discloses a method for determining a pull-torsion
coupling effect of a semi-parallel steel
wire rope. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, establishing a
layered model of the semi-parallel steel
wire rope; 2, defining the overall strain of the semi-parallel steel
wire rope; step 3, establishing a deformation coordination equation of the semi-parallel steel wire
rope and the internal steel wires thereof; 4, solving the force and moment of force of the spiral steel wire; 5, establishing an overall
mechanical equation of the semi-parallel steel wire
rope; and step 6, solving the tension-torsion
coupling response of the cable under the specific boundary condition. The
analytic model provided by the invention is clear in physical significance, can quickly and accurately predict the tension-torsion
coupling behavior of the semi-parallel steel wire
rope in the elastic deformation stage, and provides a reliable analysis tool for design, construction safety and service performance evaluation of structures such as bridge inhaul cables and suspenders.
