The free undamped vibrations of cables undergoing stretching, bending and twisting are investigated. To this end, a geometrically exact model of elastic cables accounting for bending and torsional stiffness is employed. The cable kinematics retain the full geometric nonlinearities. Starting from a prestressed catenary configuration, the nonlinear equations of motion are linearized about the initial equilibrium. In particular, two initial equilibrium states (shallow and taut) are considered while varying the cable elastic axial stiffness. The influence of the bending flexibility on the cable frequencies is assessed by direct comparisons with the frequencies predicted by classical cable theories of purely extensible cables.

Nonlinear free vibration of a microstructure has been analyzed in this study. A fluid-conveying microtube is mathematically modeled using non-classical beam theory. Partial differential equation of the model is considered in non-dimensional form. Simply-supported boundaries are taken into account and assuming three vibrating modes, an analytical method is employed to obtain the nonlinear equations of motion. Variational iteration method has been utilized as an analytical solution technique. In order to obtain the nonlinear natural frequencies of the system, analytical expressions are found based on this method. A parametric study is also carried out to investigate the effect of different parameters on the vibration characteristics of the microstructure.
