Abstract
This study analyzes the slipping and crushing behaviors of a steel wire rope during a tensile test using a curve-type clamping mechanism to realize safe and reliable clamping during safety testing. Then the dynamic simulation analysis of the clamping and stretching processes is performed using the finite element method. The reasons for the damage caused to the wire rope by clamping force are investigated. The clamping mechanism of the tensile testing machine is improved using a force amplifier and the optimization design of its jaws. The experimental results show that the improved clamping mechanism can effectively clamp the wire rope for tensile testing and meet test requirements.
