I. INTRODUCTION
Many structures in the initial state have a linear behavior;
however, there are exceptions where the relationship
between force and displacement cannot be described
properly with a model of linear behavior of the structure. The
sources of non-linearity are due to the nonlinear behavior of
the material, the geometric nonlinearity or a combined effect
of these [1].
Among the exceptions, the cables always have a nonlinear
behavior with a nonlinearity due to only having a tensional
behavior and geometric nonlinearity [2]. In general, cable
structures exhibit a flexibility that cannot be attributed to low
axial stiffness of the elements; but the geometry of the
structure [3], in many cases are structures that has large
displacements, for that reason it becomes necessary their
study in the nonlinear range.
The usual methods of analysis of cable structures are based
on the discretization of the cable into smaller elements to
formulate the equilibrium equations. Then, numerical
methods used to solve the resulting equations or elements
with appropriate values of Young modulus are applied. In the
present paper the cable structures, dividing them into cable
stiffness matrix elements deduced from the equation of the
catenary are studied.
A. Antecedent
The study of the cable element has been of great interest
for many years. Thus Galileo 1638 says that the form of a
trailing cable is parabolic, this analogy to the flight of a
projectile. In 1691 the Bernoulli, Leibnitz and Huygens
brothers concluded that it has the shape of the catenary [4]
and they found the equilibrium equations for inextensible
cable. Leibnitz use calculus theory to derive the equation of
this curve [5].

where M and K are factors proportional to the mass
damping and stiffness of the structure respectively,
depending on the type of buffer that is supposed predominant
(proportional to the mass, stiffness or both) [14].

III. APPLICATIONS
A. Cable Suspended with Point Load
The following application is taken as reference to validate
different methods to simulate cables. Initially proposed by
Michalos and Birnstiel, then analyzed by O'Brien and Francis
(as indicated Huu [8]), Jayaraman and Knudson [11], Tibert
[5], Andreu [6], Huu and Seung [8].
The problem is to determine the displacement of node 2,
when the prestressed cable under self-weight it is applied a
concentrated load. The initial configuration and information
are in Fig. 9 and Table I respectively.
