An improved model for predicting effective Young's modulus of the twisted structure under cyclic loading: taking into account the untwisting effect

ABSTRACT: Twist structures have diverse applications, ranging from dragline, electrical cable, and intelligent structure. Among these applications, tension deformation can't be avoided during the fabrication and working processes, which often leads to the twist structure rotation (called untwis...
