Fig. 2.17 Cable curvature in the MM-B<br />

diagram<br />

(a) κb < κm : no hysteresis<br />

(b) κb > κm : hysteresis; left: first stress, right: subsequent stress<br />

Case (b)<br />

The final curvature κb reached from the friction friction-free state, following external stress Mb, , is larger than the<br />

transition curvature:<br />

κb > κm<br />

Above Above the transition transition curvature, curvature, the the cable can only assume states that that are on the straight line in<br />

Fig. 2.17b, with the slope (EJ) min.<br />

The balance <strong>of</strong> moments is now:<br />

M b=M R+ ( EJ ) min κ b<br />

where MR is is the the max. max. possible possible friction friction moment (remanent friction moment) in in acc. acc. with (2.43).<br />

The above can now be used to construct the M-B M B diagram for a cable for a complete cycle <strong>of</strong> increasing<br />

and decreasing load.<br />
