Includes bibliographical references (leaves 140-144). The problem of the dynamic behavior of overhead power transmission lines under wind and other excitations is an important one, since it allows an optimal design and positioning of vibration dampers for the cables. Excessive sway and oscillation of power lines need to be avoided, as they can lead to damage of the lines and power interruptions. The relatively high flexibility of the cables, coupled with the large spans and large sags involved, make the dynamic response of the system highly nonlinear. In this study, we numerically investigate the damped free-vibration response of systems of cables of particularly large spans (120, 200 and 400m). 2014-07-31T10:26:37Z 2014-07-31T10:26:37Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5022 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
