Abstract
A wire adapted to an elastic member includes: a core that is made of metal or alloy and is elastically deformable; and an FRP layer configured to cover an outer surface of the core, and including fibers wound around the core, and thermosetting resin provided at least partially to the fibers and fixing the fibers to each other. A winding direction in which the fibers are wound around the core is along a direction of a tensile load out of the tensile load and a compressive load applied to the wire adapted to an elastic member based on a load applied from outside.

A wire adapted to an elastic member for manufacturing an elastic member, comprising:
- a core that is made of metal or alloy, and is elastically deformable;
- and
- an FRP layer configured to cover an outer surface of the core, the FRP layer including:
- fibers wound around the core;
- and
- thermosetting resin provided at least partially to the fibers and fixing the fibers to each other,
- wherein a winding direction in which the fibers are wound around the core is along a direction of a tensile load out of the tensile load and a compressive load applied to the wire adapted to an elastic member based on a load applied from outside.
