Computational Analysis of Engineering Commercializing Natural Fibre KANS Rope by Comparing with Metal and Jute wire Rope Using ANSYS)

Wire rope, Natural fibresAbstract
Fibre ropes are improved in strength throughout time to the point that they are beginning to replace wire ropes in certain applications. Fibre ropes are risen in durability and The Kans fibre ropes regains its strength after getting wet atmosphere and it can provide more mechanical strength. The development of high-tensile fibres and developments in fibre rope structures have been key contributions. It began with high-strength nylon and polyester fibre ropes, ropes made of both of those fibres, polyester and polypropylene ropes, as well as polypropylene and polyethylene ropes. As a consequence, stronger and stronger ropes can be manufactured, with a fibre strength component providing a “10-to-one strength-to-weight ratio” advantage over wire rope as the final outcome. Wire rope made from steel, jute fibre, and Kans fibre is subjected to FEM analysis in this work. Total 19 wire is used to make wire rope with having 0.335 mm diameter each and outer pitch as 87.983 mm and overall length of 44 mm. When using the “ANSYS structural model simulation software”, findings are assessed in terms of equivalent stresses, maximum principal stresses (MPS), bending stresses (ETS), and equivalence strains (EQT) & total deformation. The study’s main goal is to determine how efficient natural fibres may be in substitute of steel as a wire rope. Kans fibre wire rope will be introduced in commercial work in place of steel wire such as Ropes for hand lifts on construction sites, Helicopter ropes.
