Cross section shape optimization of wire strands subjected to purely tensile loads using a reduced helical model

Abstract This paper introduces a shape optimization of wire strands subjected to tensile loads. The structural analysis relies on a recently developed reduced helical finite element model characterized by an extreme computational efficacy while accounting for complex geometries of the wires. The mod...
