Periodic traveling waves in a taut cable on a bilinear elastic substrate

Publication:2110051




Abstract: The wave propagation problem on a taut cable resting on a bilinear substrate is investigated, without and with a distribute transversal load. The piecewise nature of the problem offers a sufficiently simple kind of nonlinearity as to permit a closed form solution both for the wave phase velocity and the wave form. We show that the solution depends only on the ratio between the two soil stiffnesses, and that no waves propagate if one side of the substrate is rigid. Some numerical simulations, based on a finite difference method, are performed to confirm the analytical findings. The stability of the proposed waves is discussed analytically and numerically.
