This paper presents experimental and numerical simulation for deformation and fatigue lifeprediction of various cables, such as electrical, optical and network cables. The cable damage isproduced by the tensile, bending and torsional action under moving and fixing condition, and bydirect external impact. To obtain material responses of the cable, uniaxial tensile tests anddrop-weight impact tests were adopted, and the nonlinear constitutive equations based on variousstrain energy potentials or material models were employed to analyze deformation of polymer sheathand metallic armor layer of the cable. Finite element results were compared with experimental datafor deformation and impact absorption energy of the cable during direct external impact. Also, fatiguestrength of the cable was predicted from variation of calculated stress level under tensile conditions.Fractured surface of the cable were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
