Abstract: Aeolian vibrations represent a threat to the integrity of electrical transmission lines. The fretting fatigue of conductors is thus a major concern. The modelization of the contact conditions ...

Abstract: The performance of a gear set is strongly influenced by the manufacturing and assembly quality. Therefore, detailed analyses at the design stage, where the effects of expected assembly and ...

Abstract: Based on a few specific cases, this paper presents a comparative investigation of the effect of helix slope and form deviation tolerances as specified by grades 5 and 7 of the ANSI/AGMA ISO ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional model is presented for the analysis of contact between a typical suspension clamp and an overhead electrical conductor. Besides span parameters (sag angle, static tensile load), conductor curvature at the ...

Abstract: A model of a simplified single-layer stranded cable is developed to compute the bending energy dissipated by friction between strand components and to compare it to the experimental values derived from tests on overhead ...
