The motions caused by a lateral impact on a wire rope, are two kind of motions (i. e. longitudinal and transverse waves) which influence each others during travelling and reflecting. Furthermore, the longitudinal wave propagates 15-30 times as fast as the transverse wave.
The difference between the value of stress or deflection caused by a lateral impact on the rope, and those due to a static load, must be noticeable.
This report deals with the behavior of the rope with a lateral impact applied at the center.
The analysis has been carried out by employing the numerical integration method of N. Cristescu.
This can explain the combined motions of the rope, however the procedure is still somewhat tedious.
