Abstract
The linearized form of the equilibrium equations for wire rope is used to develop a theory which describes the axial response of a strand, with elliptical outer wire cross-sections, to a static load for two strand configurations. The strand geometries are the same except for a small flat surface on each of the outer wires for the second configuration. The forces, moments, stresses and strains are calculated using the same loading conditions for each strand configuration and varying the ellipticity of the outer wires. The results for both cases are then evaluated and an application of the theory is briefly discussed.
