Two Alternatives for Mathematical Expression of Triangular Strands in Six Strand Ropes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The creation of computer model of triangular rope strand needs mathematical interpretation of individual wires. It can be based on different assumptions in its derivation. The paper presents two options. In the first case, it is known the number of wires and the size of their diameters in the first layer of the strand, in the second case it is known number of wires and the diameter wires forming the core of strand. The parametric equations of wire axis are derived for both cases. The geometrical models of the strands are generated on the base of these equations.
