This report discusses recent findings on strumming of cables from the marine cable dynamics 

 research program conducted by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Emphasis is placed 

 on an understanding of the basic strumming phenomenon, the development of design procedures, 

 the definition of hydrodynamic force coefficients applicable in practice, and the specification of 

 structural response parameters relevant to marine cable design. Strumming analysis methods for 

 both taut and slack marine cables are described together with the computer codes that are 

 available to implement the various analysis procedures. Although this report emphasizes marine 

 cable systems, the results of the NAVFAC/CEL research effort are applicable to other marine 

 structures as well. These applications are discussed in the report as appropriate.
