Fig. 2.14 Schematic curve <strong>of</strong> bending stiffness (EJ)(κ) (EJ)( across the<br />

cable curvature for a single layer cable<br />

But M R is given by (2.43):<br />

MR is the residual friction moment or the maximum moment fric friction tion can resist, which remains “frozen” in<br />

the the cable after after all all the the wires have have slipped, slipped, continuing to oppose the external load, because κ > κm<br />

(Region II):<br />

Region I Transition Region II<br />

The moment MII above the average transition curvature κm is therefore a combination <strong>of</strong> the wire<br />

moment Mmin and the residual friction moment MMR.<br />
