Abstract

The weakly nonlinear wave equation in which the nonlinearity is of the van der Pol type is considered. This equation has been proposed as a model for the wind-induced oscillations of overhead power lines. It is shown that any initial disturbance generates a solution of finite amplitude which consists of the superposition of two traveling waves having sawtooth profiles. A stability analysis provides a complete classification of all such waves which can be generated.
