Cable 12.90361.5988E + 107.8507E − 034.9535E − 060.79605.5
Cable 20.72591.7186E + 107.611E − 034.6097E − 0650.70302.7
Cable 326.132542.0826E + 137.8633E − 034.9204E − 061.4150.5
Cable 40.72594.7834E + 80.7345E − 015.9506E − 0350.7050.5

Note. The nondimensional parameters λ2 [3] and ξ [1] characterize the flexural stiffness and sag-extensibility of the cable, respectively. The cable sag-extensibility increases with λ2, and the flexural stiffness decreases with ξ.
