Abstract

The nonlinear behavior of an elastic cable subjected to harmonic excitation is studied and solved. The method of multiple scales perturbation is applied to analyze the response of the nonlinear system near the simultaneous principle primary and internal resonance. The stability of the proposed analytic nonlinear solution near the simultaneous primary-internal resonance is studied and the stability condition is investigated. The effect of different parameters on the steady state responses of the vibrating system is studied and discussed using frequency response equations. The numerical solutions and chaotic response of the nonlinear system of the elastic cable for different parameters are also studied.
