Dynamic Contact between a Wire Rope and a Pulley Using Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation

Wire rope and pulley devices are used in various machines. To use these machines more safely, it is necessary to analyze the behavior of the contact between them. In this study, we represent a wire rope by a numerical model of a flexible body. This flexible body is expressed in the absolute nodal co...
