[en] This paper presents a low-order model to identify the tension in a cable with additional masses in the span. The method is applicable in a general sense but is illustrated with low Irvine parameters (slightly extensible) cables. The number of masses is arbitrary; however the method performs best with a limited number of masses, say less than 12 or 15; otherwise a Galerkin scheme would perform equally well. The paper illustrates the method with numerically simulated data. Validation with field measurement is provided in the oral presentation.
