Abstract: This paper concerns the mechanical behavior of ACSR (aluminum conductor steel-reinforced) conductors under static-loading conditions, which may comprise any combination of tension, torsion, and ...

Abstract: A simple model was developed to predict the plastic behavior of a stranded conductor under tensile loading to fracture. Two cases are considered; the torque transmitted in the case of conductors ...

Abstract: Tension-torsion measurements were made with applied strain on ACSR, AACSR,ACAR, aluminum and aluminum alloy conductors, as well as on groundwires. Results were compared with predictions of a model ...
