Abstract
The elastic strains induced in the constituent wires of parallel wire strands under tensile loading were measured using neutron diffraction. The elastic strains carried by the individual wires depended very strongly on the boundary conditions at the grips and on radial clamping forces. The friction forces between the wires were quite significant and should not be neglected in analytical or numerical formulations of strain partitioning in parallel wire cables.
