... by the twisting of the wire and found the corresponding cyclic losses. The problem of hysteretic losses in a tension cable was considered by Hobbs and Raoof (1982), who represented a cable as an equivalent mutilayer continuum and predicted the losses resulting from the slip inside each of these cylindrical layers...

... ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the impulsive forces observed in the tension cables of a slack-anchored floating silt curtain in waves. The characteristics of the impulsive tension are described through the results of model tests. Numerical methods for the prediction of the impulsive tension...
