Endurance formula for wire ropes under fluctuating tension

Technical Meeting - Endurance of Wire Ropes under Fluctuating Tension – Stuttgart 1995

Tension - tension fatigue tests with wire ropes are much rarer than bending tests. If the results of tension - tension fatigue tests have been published, their evaluation is very often hindered. As Chaplin and Potts /1/ pointed out one problem is that the tested wire rope or the test conditions are not specified enough. The other problem is that there is no convincing regression formula.
