Structural elements such as ropes and cables are among the oldest tools used by humanity in its quest for technological advancement. For example, a copper wire rope was found in the ruins of Nemeveh near Babylon which originate from about 700 BC, 1 and in Pompeii bronze ropes estimated to be 2400 years old have been excavated. 2 These elements are known to have the ability to withstand relatively large axial loads in comparison to bending and torsional loads, and have played an indispensable role in towing operations, in supporting structures, in conducting signals and in systems designed to carry payloads in vertical and inclined transport installations. In this latter application cables are of timevarying length. However, the rate of change is small and the length may be assumed to vary slowly. Consequently, the dynamic characteristics of the system vary slowly during its operation, rendering the system non-stationary. The responses of systems with non-stationary parameters and excitations are qualitatively different from the responses of stationary systems, especially in the neighbourhood of some critical values of the parameters, when transitions through resonance regions occur. The non-stationary resonance phenomena are often delayed, and frequently accompanied by beat phenomena. Hence, specialised treatment is required in order to analyse the responses of these systems. A number of studies have been carried out in this area. Kevorkian3 has considered the passage through resonance in a harmonically excited single-degree-of-freedom system with a slowly varying natural frequency. In this study the solution was constructed by matching two asymptotic expansions: the outer expansion away from resonance, and the inner expansion near resonance. Agrawal and Evan-Iwanowski, 4 and Evan-Iwanowski5 have extended the asymptotic method developed by Mitropolskii6 for determining resonant responses of non-stationary, non-linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The theory and methodology to describe the behaviour of a system evolving slowly through internal resonance has been presented by Ablowitz, Funk and Newell, 7 and also by
