Response of Masts of Power Lines to the Blast Effects of Wind

摘要

This paper presents an analysis of the response of masts of power lines to wind gusts. The computational model of the masts is designed in two variants. The computational model of the first variant is the mast, in which the weight of insulators and conductors has been neglected. In the second variant, the effects of mass of insulators and conductors are modeled as a double pendulum. The values of wind pressure were obtained using a record of wind velocity.
