Fully nonlinear model of cables

In this paper an energy approach is used to develop a fully nonlinear cable model, which contains most cable models as special cases. The theory accounts for the effects of static and dynamic loads, initial sags, compressibility, material nonuniformity, Poisson's effect, and geometric nonlinearities. Also, a cubic nonlinear equation of motion is derived for sagged cables, taut strings, and extensional bars and compare the model with several other models.
