ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF CABLE SYSTEMS

Abstract

The dynamic response of steel and nylon cables with a suspended payload in water was investigated analytically and experimentally. Ocean wave motion was simulated at the top of the cables by a sinusoidal displacement function. A generalized distributed mass analytical model including internal and external damping was used to predict cable tone. Experimental results on cables of the order of 70 feet in length and .25 inch diameter compared well with theoretical predictions.
