Jw. Wang et Jl. Lilien, A NEW THEORY FOR TORSIONAL STIFFNESS OF MULTISPAN BUNDLE OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION-LINES, IEEE transactions on power delivery, 13(4), 1998, pp. 1405-1411
A new theory for torsional stiffness of multispan bundle overhead tran
smission lines is presented. The torsional mechanism is clarified. A s
implified torsional stiffness formula is obtained which allows for the
complex bundle stiffness to be directly calculated from the basic par
ameters. Applications in the choices of yoke plates and suspension cla
mps are detailed. The new theory correlates with experiments to a high
degree of accuracy.
