Closed-Form Formula of the Transverse Dynamic Stiffness of a Shallowly Inclined Taut Cable

The segmented vibration-governed equations and their general solutions for cables acted upon by intermediate transverse forces are derived by applying Hamilton’s principle. Including the effects of sagging, flexible stiffness, clamped boundary conditions, and inclination angle of the cable, the elem...
