Three-Dimensional Dynamical Behaviour of a Flexible Towed Cable
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
The three-dimensional motion of a body towed by a flexible cable is studied. An approximate solution is developed for the non-linear equations of motion of the system to determine cable shapes. This solution is then used to compute natural frequencies and damping rates for longitudinal and lateral motions of the system. Conditions necessary for the uncoupling of the lateral and longitudinal motions are defined.
