Abstract
Under the assumption that the equation for an elastic
cable y" = -~~ applies, and with a simple approximation
of the deformation y, the bending moment Mx at the
support can be calculated. The stresses can then be
calculated using stress-strain curves for steel and
aluminium respectively. Static tension stresses, due
to the line-span's vertical load, must then he ~dded
to these static bending stresses. For a 593 mm~ FeAlc

By inserting these values in a Smith-diagram it is found
that the conductor can withstand 108 load-cycles.
The nominal stresses for the entire conductor are thus:

With the sheave (D = 400 mm) which at present ts used
for stringing in Sweden, the conductor will hold despite
the high stresses ( 0 80 % of HS). lt would be desireable,
from the point of view of safety, to reduce these
stresses. This could suitably be arranged by using a
sheave either with a larger diameter or in the form of
a tandem wheel.
