Abstract

With the purpose of a valid evaluation of the reliability and,hence,service life of high voltage power lines in mind, the mechanical behavior of stressed cable specimens has been investigated. First, the elastlc prope~ties, strength as well as creep behavior were compared to those of stranded wires. After establishing the stress mechanism including a stress criterion, suitable ~ethods could be developed for analyzing endangerment by aeolian vibratjons. The evaluation of the damping characteristics was au~mPnted through the use of ~echano-electrical analo7ues. Recommendations re~arding improved reliability are given for the construction of new installations.
