Abstract

Vibrations of an inclined cable subjected to external sinusoidal excitation are experimentally investigated and via a simplified model with one degree-of-freedom: external excitation looks like the loading that should be exerted on the cable by the superstructure of a bridge. The nonlinear one dof model is studied via the multiple scales method. Numerical and experimental results are compared.
