Because of the relatively high frequencies of these vibrations, such damage can occur over a short period of time. This paper contains an overview of the mechanics of aeolian vibration, describes physical signs which indicate the presence of vibration activity, and summarizes the results of studies and investigations conducted, both in the field and the laboratory, on overhead shield wire with and without dampers applied.
