Abstract

Wire ropes are used in elevators, cranes, mine hoisting, bridges, aerial ropaways system and several other applications involving safety of human life. Consequently, an efficient and safe performance of wire rope has always been an area of research. Fretting behaviour under repeated cyclic load in practical application plays a crucial role in performance of wire rope. Fretting behaviour is affected by a
number of variables viz. material, strength, lubrication and coating and environmental factors like corrosive medium, operating temperature etc. There is a huge potential for further research in the area of fretting behaviour analysis. This paper presents a state- of- the- art review of key variables, their effect as well as remedial solution of fretting behaviour of wire rope.
