Abstract We discuss solution methods for nonlinear vibrations of cables having small initial sag-to-span ratios. One-to-one internal resonances between the in-plane and out-of-plane modes as well as primary resonances of the in-plane mode are considered. Approximate solutions are obtained by two different approaches. In the first approach, the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the governing partial-differential equations and boundary conditions. In the second approach, the equations are first discretized, and then the method of multiple scales is applied to the resulting ordinary-differential equations. It is shown that treatment of the discretized system is inaccurate compared to direct treatment of the partial-differential system. Discrepancies between the two solutions appear even at the first level of approximation. Stability analyses of the amplitude and phase modulation equations for both methods are also performed.
