It was found both experimentally and theoretically, using a simple strength of materials approach, that the axialtorsional behavior of ACSR conductors is highly coupled; i.e., axial motion causes torsional motion and vice versa. Although wind-induced oscillation of ACSR power lines has been observed for years, the importance of axial-torsional coupling has not been generally recognized, nor studied. A simplified mathematical model correlated well with experimental measurements for this type of coupled mechanical behavior. It is hoped that being able to control the amount of coupling through cable design may lead to better control of windinduced oscillations.
