Vibration of Cables and Dampers-II
Electrical Engineering, (June 1936)
Abstract
An analysis of the vibration of cables and
dampers, representing the results of several
y~a-ts oftesearch and laboratory and field
'testing, is presented in this paper. In Part
I which was published in the May 1936
issue, an explanation of the causes and
nature of free harmonic vibration of cable
is offered, followed by an analysis of the
resulting stresses. In Part H, presented
herewith, 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 experimental data from
laboratory and field.
