APPLIED PROBLEMS OF SUSPENSION OF HEAVY FLEXIBLE THREAD IN GENERAL

Abstract

The main tasks of suspension of a heavy flexible thread are formulated in an “exact” formulation: without the use of “simplifications” characterizing the existing methods of calculating overhead wires and cables. A general solution is given to determine the actual position and gravity of the flexible thread modeling the overhead line wire, based on the results of full-scale geometric measurements. The possibility of solving “exact” problems using existing software is shown.
