Fully Nonlinear Model of Cables

An energy approach is presently used to derive a fully nonlinear cable model encompassing most cable models as special cases. In addition to accounting for the effects of static and dynamic loads, initial sags, compressibility, material nonuniformity, Poisson's effect, and geometric nonlinearit...

Description
Summary:An energy approach is presently used to derive a fully nonlinear cable model encompassing most cable models as special cases. In addition to accounting for the effects of static and dynamic loads, initial sags, compressibility, material nonuniformity, Poisson's effect, and geometric nonlinearities, the derivation of cubic nonlinear equations of motion for sagged cables, taut strings, and extensional bars becomes possible by these means.
