Abstract: Semicontinuous wire strand modeling is an approach by which each layer of a strand is mathematically represented by an orthotropic cylinder whose mechanical properties are chosen to match the behavior of its corresponding ...

Abstract: A general analytical solution is obtained for the stresses and displacements of an elastic body consisting of an assembly of coaxial hollow circular cylinders made of orthotropic material, with or without a core, and ...

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 ...
