Numerical Approaches to Movement of Suspended Cable under Wind Based on VFIFE

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dynamics response of suspended cable structure is studied in this paper. It is difficult to analyze this type of structure because of non-linear behavior. VFIFE is an efficient method to solve non-linear problems and applied to calculate movement of cable on wide range. Some results are obtained from time history of cable vibration, such as galloping and characteristic frequency. A case of cable movement under wind shows that low frequency in wind speed is main fact impacting on wave of cable.
