DIMENSIONING AND POSITIONING OF SPACER-DAMPERS IN BUNDLED TRANSMISSION LINES
(1987)Abstract
This article introduces a method for calculating
vortex induced vibrations (aeolian vibrations) in vertical twin
bundles with spacer-dampers. The input variables used for the
calculation are the mechanical characteristics of the
spacer-dampers as measured in a laboratory, in addition to the
mechanical data of the conductors, the tensile forces in the
individual conductors and the energy input of the wind. The
result or the calculation supplies information on the alternating
bending strains at suspension points and clamps of the
spacer-dampers. In this way the proposed method offers a solid
basis for determining the number and positioning of
spacer-dampers for a given bundled transmission line.
