Dynamical analysis of transmission line cables. Part 3—Nonlinear theory

In this work the authors use nonlinear mathematical models for simulation of the dynamical behavior of transmission lines cables. The numerical models are obtained through the finite element method. For validation of the mathematical nonlinear models, the simulated results are compared with experimental data obtained in an automated testing system for overhead line cables. Many sample lengths and load situations were used. The forced response is obtained through an impulsive excitation (impact hammer) or electromechanical shaker and, the vibration signals are collected through accelerometers placed along the half sample. The eigenbehavior is analyzed using the Irvine parameter for straight and inclinated cables. It also showed the numeric and experimental dynamical behavior results for the load cable fluctuation in function of the excitation frequency, the influence of concentrated mass of straight cable and the beat condition.
