Abstract

The mechanical behavior of industrial cable with braided layer was investigated by a coordinated modeling and experimental effort and both results are compared for validation of newly developed finite element (FE) modeling. The feasibility of this FE model was verified by comparison with actual mechanical tests. FE model was firstly established and the specific torsional loading was applied to test specimens by utilizing a special test apparatus. After the above processes, the experimental and numerical results were successfully correlated. Finally, the constitutive behavior of braided layer was understood under mechanical loading and as a result, this research can improve the reliability of braided layer which is one of the critical components of the industrial cable.
