Abstract

String vibration phenomena on suspension bridges describe oscillations due to external forces and gravity, which can affect the stability and safety of the structure. The mathematical model for this vibration problem is stated by Mckenna (1999) in the form of a second-order ordinary differential equation for deflection . This study aims to analyze the behavior of the  model and solve the model solution with Radial Basis Function (RBF) and compare it with the analytical solution. In RBF, the basis function is selected in the form of a 1st order multiquadratic function. Error analysis is carried out by calculating the difference between RBF and the analytical solution at a time interval  with parameters . The results show that the numerical solution of RBF to the exact solution produces a difference of  at time  for , and a difference of  at time  for . With this level of accuracy, the RBF method can be said to be quite effective in solving string vibration models, and has the potential to be applied to the stability analysis of engineering structures such as suspension bridges.
