Effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates
(2016)
Abstract : This paper presents the effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates for civil engineering applications. After a literature review, results of an experimental analysis investigating ...
Experimental study of dynamic bending stiffness of ACSR overhead conductors
(2015)
Abstract : Aeolian vibrations of transmission line conductors may cause fretting fatigue failure at or near the location of clamped devices. At these locations, the bending stiffness variation of the conductor has a large ...
Strengthening of the net section of steel elements under tensile loads with bonded CFRP strips
(2014)
Abstract : The use of CFRP is increasingly common as a solution for the strengthening of structures, but the majority of research and applications have focused on the retrofit of concrete structures. The application of ...
Modeling multilayered wire strands, a strategy based on 3D finite element beam-to-beam contacts - Part II: Application to wind-induced vibration and fatigue analysis of overhead conductors
(2017)
Abstract: Wind-induced loads cause electrical transmission line fatigue. Evaluation procedures consider descriptors such as deflection amplitude (Yb) and far-field vibration (fymax), which cannot relate endurance limits ...
Effect of geometrical parameters of aluminum-to-steel bolted connections
(2015)
Abstract : Through experimental and numerical studies, this research work aims to provide directions on the optimal geometric configuration for single-lap and double-lap bolted connection between aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and ...
Experimental investigation of multi-material aluminum-to-steel and GFRP-to-steel bonded and bolted/bonded connections
(2016)
Abstract : Through an experimental study, this paper describes the behavior of single-lap bonded, bolted and bolted/bonded connections for configurations with minimum geometric parameters proposed in design references. Two ...
Evaluation of phase-to-phase clearances of transmission line conductors under turbulent wind
(2017)
Abstract: "Wind loads govern the design of a large number of overhead transmission lines worldwide. The spatial and temporal variation of wind speed and the buffeting response of cables may induce swings not fully synchronized ...
Influence of damping and force hypotheses for evaluating ductility demand of structures subjected to time history wind loading
(2017)
Abstract: Current wind design procedures require that structural behavior remains elastic under wind loading corresponding to a specific return period unlike seismic codes that set some specifications to account for the ...
Full-scale measurement of the response of a CPV tracker structure prototype under wind load
(2017)
The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...
Study on extraction parameters of flutter derivatives for the development of a time-domain formulation of self-excited forces
(2017)
Abstract: This paper addresses the evaluation of the dependence of bridge-deck flutter derivatives to the extraction parameters used in wind tunnel tests. The studied parameters are the model scale, model velocity and ...
