Abstract
This paper is concerned with the dynamical analysis of a sagged cable having small equilibrium curvature and horizontal supports under both distributed and concentrated loads. The loads are applied in vertical as well as horizontal directions. Based on a free vibration analysis, a transfer matrix method is generalized for solving coupled, nonhomogeneous differential equations to obtain closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the associated vibration mode shapes in vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal directions. It is shown that two sets of independent mode shapes associated with two sets of independent frequencies always exist and can be obtained via an equation of one variable only. This method demonstrates its advantages in dealing with interactions of modes in different directions, complex arrangement of concentrated loads, and high-order modes oscillations.
