A Study on an Iteration Method for the Determination the Initial shape of the Cable

연직하중을 받는 케이블의 형상결정을 위한 반복계산법의 개발

In the design of cable structures it is necessary to know the initial shape of the cable. The geometrical condition and the equilibrium equation of the cable are needed. Because the equilibrium equation is expressed by the simultaneous equations of second order, it is almost impossible to solve with elimination method. To solve it, we must use iteration method. In this study, the algorithm which can reduce the number of iteration and calculate shape of the cable is developed and compared with measured data through the laboratory test and the results represent good agreements.
