Abstract
A linear theory is developed for the free •tibrations of a. uniform suspended
cable in which the ratio of sag to span is about 1: S, or less. Both in-plane
and out-of-plane motion is considered. It is shown thr..t the analysi~ of the
symmetric in-plane modes is heavily dependent on a parameter which
allows for the effects of cable geometry and elasticity. The results of simple
experiments are reported which establish the validity of the theory.
