| Abstract: | Aeolian vibrations may lead to failure of the overhead conductors of electrical transmission lines. Damages are caused by fretting fatigue at the attachment position of pieces of hardware. This phenomenon depends much on contact mechanics. The contact between a wire and a suspension clamp, a critical location, was modelled using the finite element method. Results from strain measurements on vibrating conductors served as input. The numerical results gave estimates of stresses and slip amplitudes. We can use these results to compute crack initiation criteria. The Ruiz and Chen criterion was chosen here and results compared well with experimental data. |
