Vibration of Cables and Dampers-I
Electrical Engineering, (May 1936)
Abstract
An analysis of the vibration of cables and
dampers/ representing the results of several
years «sf research.and laborato~y and field
testing, is presented in this paper. In Part
I, presented herewith, an explanation of the
causes and nature of free harmonic vibration
of the cable is offered/ followed by an
analysis of the resulting stresses. In Part 11,
which is scheduled for publication in a subsequent
issue/ various ways of reducing
the maximum stresses and means of controlling
the vibration are discussed, including an
analysis of the action of Stockbridge
dampers. Applications of the formulas to
. specific cases are given, and comparisons are
made with ~xperimental data from laboratory
and field.
