  • 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...

  • Fiber Reinforced Composite Power-Mooring Cables Design and Manufacturing applied to Wave Energy Converters

    Creator:
    Miller, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The design and analysis of single point power-mooring cables applied to wave energy converters (WECs) is presented. WECs are mechanical devices designed and deployed to extract energy from waves in varying ways, and at varying distances from the shoreline. WEC devices operating on the water surface require mooring lines or...
