 Abstract

In this report, the rain-wind induced vibrations of cables are studied. This is done by modeling the cable cross-section as a mass-spring system with two time-varying masses. Thereafter, the solution of this model is approximated using a multiple timescale perturbation method. Lastly, for some choices
of the time-varying masses the eigenfrequencies are analyzed, stability properties are derived, and approximations of the solutions are given.
