NONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF CABLES WITH LOW INITIAL TENSION
A method of solution for the three-dimensional nonlinear deployment problem associated with single, lightly-stressed cables. The solution to the resulting system of equations is obtained by means of a finite element representation valid during some time interval in which the incremental equations approximate the response of the nonlinear system to a stated order of accuracy. The solution is extended to later time intervals by referring additional incremental deformations to a coordinate system based on the new configuration of the cable at the end of the previous time interval.
