Elastic Modulus of Wire Rope and Entropy-Drive Phase Transformation
€0.00
Abstract
Historically, the elasticity of steel wire ropes has been attributed primarily to the inherent energy elasticity of the steel wire, often overlooking the entropy elasticity arising from the rope’s macroscopic structure. Consequently, most inspection methods and equipment for steel wire ropes have been designed with a focus solely on energy elasticity. However, this article, from the view of “emergentism”, describes the process of “entropy-driven phase transition” in the macroscopic structure of steel wire ropes through “long-range orientational order” under the action of external force fields. In this article, it also explains that “entropy elasticity” is the main source of steel wire rope elasticity, and roughly introduced the definition method of elastic modulus of steel wire rope based on statistical entropy.
