Figure 12
Maximum and minimum values of the cross-sectional bending stiffness of the messenger cable. Comparison between the values identified from the static cyclic test and the theoretical values calculated from (11). The values are plotted against the nondimensional arc-length coordinate (see also Figure 6). (a) Maximum stiffness value . (b) Minimum stiffness value .
