摘要:Catenary theory is recognized as the most effective suspension theory which can reflect the real situation of suspension. Catenary equation belongs to transcendental function, so there are some difficulties in calculation and application. Parabola theory, suspension curve theory and perturbation method are gradually formed as the theoretical basis for the study of suspension cables. This paper takes the 500m spherical radio telescope project as the background. The modeling method of suspension cable under multiple concentrated loads is analyzed, and the mathematical model of supporting cable after load is derived. The research in this paper provides a reference for the establishment of mathematical model of suspension cable in practice.
