Quasi-static cyclic behavior of wire rope isolators: comprehensive experimental study and improved mathematical modeling

Wire rope isolators (WRI) effectively isolate shocks and vibrations, making them an ideal choice for many industries, including military and aerospace. A sizeable experimental program was conducted to investigate the cyclic hysteretic behavior of WRIs in all possible loading directions. The test mat...
