Flow-induced resonance of a hinged bronze cable (length/diameter=100) in uniform water flow at Reynolds number of Re(subscript D)=200 is simulated using a fluid-structure interaction code. At the periodically steady state, the cable vibrates as a standing wave at its resonance frequency due to vortex shedding. It is found that, despite the higher streamwise fluid force, the amplitude of the cross-flow displacement is much higher than that of the streamwise displacement. This phenomenon is not observed at other states without resonance. The result is that the energy transfer from fluid to solid is maximized in the cross-flow direction.
