Aeolian Vibration Of Single Conductors And Its Control

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a mechanical-impedance model of a vibrating single-conductor-damper system and its experimental verification. Measurements are made by the force-velocity method and compared with the corresponding model-generated data. The effects of each of the damper components is demonstrated, and the optimal design of aeolian vibration dampers for an ideal viscous damping medium is established. The optimum locations of dampers are also discussed.
