Abstract
In this study, fatigue life of axial loaded wire rope strands are investigated in computer environment. For this purpose generated models about finite element analysis of wire ropes, conducted researches and fatigue condition of wire ropes are investigated. The condition required in order not to contact outer wires with each other is expressed with the purpose of modeling simple strand and the generated model is confirmed by using defined geometrical values. 3D solid model of 1+6 simple strand used in finite element analysis is generated in CAD software SolidWorksTM. Finite element analysis of simple strand is done by FEA software ANSYSTM. Fatigue analyses are done by ANSYS/Workbench for experimental groups generated by using 3 different parameters which are strand length, helix angle and force range. Graphics, which show fatigue life variance of axial loaded 1+6 simple strand, are created by obtaining fatigue life distribution according to Goodman approach.
