THE PREDICTION OF AEOLIAN VIBRATION FATIGUE DAMAGE OF TRANSMISSION LINE CABLES
(1960)
Abstract
The wind-induced vibration of transmission line cables is the source of
numerous fatigue failures of cable strands in service. At present, the emphasis
in the field is directed at reducing or eliminating the amount of vibration by
the addition of vibration dampers or vibration absorbers to the transmission
line, rather than at reducing the induced stress by ~mproved suspension clamp
design. At the same time, little attention has been given to the fact that
some level of vibration is completely tolerable.
It is the purpose of this paper to outline a method of predicting the
tolerable level of vibration that can be sustained and how this levei can be
measured
