     THE RESULTS OF PROGRAM ANALYSIS
     ===============================
 
      1. You have selected the following options:
 
      1.1 CALCULATING NATURAL FREQUENCY and MODE
          SHAPE and VIV response with following
          structural model:
         pinned-pinned beam (varying tension)                                  
 
      1.2  The English unit system
 
      1.3  The following damping factors are used:
 
            1   0.200   0.180   0.200
 
 
     2. Structural dynamic behavior.
 
      2.1 String or beam?
 
         Tk^2/EIk^4 =  0.160E+02

        When the above value is less than 30
        you should use the beam model.


      2.2 Modes in excitation bandwidth, natural frequency,
         and preliminary modal power ratio:
 
         F = force; L = length; T = time.
 
     mode no. frequency   force   damping   modal power  power ratio to max
                (Hz)       (F)    (F*T/L)     (F*L/T)

     No. of potentially excited modes:          21
 
     Based on the cutoff value of:    0.100
      the number of modes above cutoff is:           6
      These modes are:
                      9
                     10
                     11
                     12
                     13
                     14
 
      Lowest And Highest Excited Mode Number
     Nmmin=  9     Nmmax= 14
 
      Pleas note that when there are many
      modes above cutoff, and the number of
      nodes is not large enough, some of the
      modes that are above cutoff may not
      get any input power region, and therefore
      they may also be dropped out. These modes
      are insignificant to fluid input power.
 
     2.3 Ratio of change of vel to average vel:  1.00
 
      The number of excited modes and the velocity ratio together
      provide insight as to the likelihood of lock-in.
 
      2.4 Finite or infinite system behavior?

       ----------------------------------------------------
              9                        0.5055
             10                        0.5074

             14                        0.5292
 
        When the minimum value in the table is greater than  2,
        infinitely long structural behavior dominates.
        When this value is less than 0.2, spatial attenuation is small.
 
     3. The ratio of the change of tension to the average tension:  0.0469
 
         The bigger the ratio, the larger the variation in tension.

      In the table, Cf is the drag amplification
      factor due to VIV response. The product of
      Cf and drag coefficient gives VIV amplified
      drag coefficient. T is effective tension.
 


    16. Computational resolution.

 
     The user-input number of spatial segments:  200
 
     The first program-suggested number of spatial segments:  105
      The above value is defined as below.
      It is assumed that the minimum wavelength equals
      twice of the structure length divided by the
      maximum mode number. It is also assumed that
      in each wavelength, 10 segments would be sufficient.
 
     The second program-suggested number of spatial segments:    4
      The above value is defined as below.
      There are at least 4 segments in the shortest structural zone.
 
      The user-input number of spatial segments should be
      greater than or at least equal to the larger of the two
      program-suggested values.
 
      However, to adequately model the lift force distribution,
      the user-input number should not be too small.
      When the number of segments is small, the
      results can be sensitive to it.
