  • Modes of vibration of inextensible cables suspended from two points

    Creator:
    Thompson, Roger S.
    Abstract:
    The equations of motion of a suspended, inextensible cable in the absence of damping are studied. A method is developed and illustrated for determining the frequencies and mode shapes for small oscillations about the equilibrium configuration. With the introduction of a new variable, the fourth order equation governing tangential displacement...

  • Vibrations of suspended cables

    Creator:
    Gale, John Gregg
    Abstract:
    The equations of motion of an elastic cable suspended in a viscous medium from two arbitrary points are derived. These are then linearized for the undamped, inextensible case, and it is found that the equations describing the in-plane motion of the cable are then independent of the equation describing the...

  • Anchor-last deployment procedure for mooring

    Creator:
    Thresher, Robert W. and Nath, John H.
    Abstract:
    The anchor-last mooring procedure is investigated in order to determine the transient forces in the mooring line and the velocities of the anchor. Transient forces were determined and the results showed that no severe snap loads occurred for the cases investigated. In addition, it was found that the vertical velocity...
