A new specific finite element model for cables-Part II: Applications

$15.00

As a validation of the new specific finite element model for cables described in Part I, numerical tests and comparisons between numerical, theoretical and experimental results are presented in this paper. The model proves to be accurate and economical in terms of degrees of freedom required, compared to standard models using 3D elements. Moreover, the model makes it possible to quantify the influence of the interwire contact conditions.
