The title problem is investigated using a model consisting of a constant-tension, stretched string whose partial differential equation is derived by taking into account the exact configuration. Simplifying via Taylor series the curvature term and then employing Galerkin method, an ordinary differential equation describing the nonlinear dynamics is obtained. For the undamped case, the authors formulate the Hamiltonian energy form of the equation for the conservative string under an external periodic excitation which permits to derive the subharmonic resonant condition for this system. The resulting infinite number of subharmonic resonant waves is truncated to just two waves by renormalizing the Hamiltonian energy function near the subharmonic resonant orbit. Adopting the renormalization group technique for describing the interaction of the two subharmonic resonant waves, an approximate chaotic condition associated with the subharmonic resonance is determined. For the case of the damped string, the minimum condition for the bifurcation of the subharmonic resonant wave is computed using the incremental energy balance method. To verify the model, the authors carry out numerical simulations which show a good agreement with analytical results.
