Extensional characteristics of the element are fully considered. The method is applied to a numerical example taken from the literature and which has previously been analysed by classical and other methods. The results obtained by the use of a straight element are compared with those obtained by the use of curved elements. Finally, a parametric study is conducted to determine the influence of various parameters on the spectrum of natural frequencies of a sagged cable and appropriate nondimensional curves are presented. These non-dimensional curves give an insight into the general characteristics of the sagged cable, and can be used to predict in-plane natural frequencies over a wide range of sag/span ratio.
