Research on Discontinuous Contact Intra-strand Steel Stress of Steel Rope Ring CVT by Wu Zhang, Weixiong Liu, Lü Changlei, Feiyan Han

“…The results show that under the condition of continuous and discontinuous contact， the equivalent stress value of the outer steel rope in contact with the rope groove is the largest， followed by the steel rope at the contact between the strand and the strand， and the equivalent force value of the steel rope at other positions is the smallest under the same axial load. The change range of equivalent stress produced by steel rope in discontinuous contact is higher than that in continuous contact. …”
