Study on vibration control of cables with elastic end restraint(II):Experimental verification

The experimental research is conducted to study the axial passive control of cable vibration by setting an elastic end restraint at one support of the cable in the axial direction.The influence of support motion on the natural frequency of cable vibration is presented.Then the damping effect of elastic restraint is verified and the influence of the damping coefficient and the spring stiffness on the damping effect is discussed.Finally the theoretical study [10] is verified to be accurate.
