A description of an experimental investigation involving the study of the dynamic interaction between the cables and the deck/towers system in cable-stayed bridges is presented. The work was carried out on a physical model of a cable-stayed bridge (the Jindo Bridge, in South Korea), whose characteri

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, the non-linear vibration of a cable-stayed beam with time-varying length and tension in the cable is investigated. A set of non-linear, time-varying di!erential equations describing this coupling system is derived by Hamilton's principle and the "nite element method. According to the results of numerical simulation, the tension of the cable is related to the cable length, which in turn is a function of the longitudinal and transverse displacements of the cable. Furthermore, it is shown that the tension and length of the cable can be considerably di!erent by using linear and non-linear models.

A new finite element beam formulation for modelling flexible multibody systems undergoing large rigidbody motion and large deflections is developed. In this formulation, the motion of the 'nodes' is referred to a global inertial reference frame. Only Cartesian position co-ordinates are used as degre
