Modeling and Mechanism of Rain-Wind Induced Vibration of Bundled Conductors

Numerical Modeling and Small-Scale Experimental Simulation of Ice Shedding Propagation on Bundled Conductors

Ice shedding propagation on bundled conductors is simulated numerically and experimentally. A numerical model was built using a commercial finite element software ADINA, whereas experiments were carried out on a small-scale setup in laboratory. The numerical and the experimental models simulate the propagation of ice shedding from one cable in a twin bundle together with the resulting vibration...

WIND SCATTEROMETRY WITH IMPROVED AMBIGUITY SELECTION AND RAIN MODELING by

WIND SCATTEROMETRY WITH IMPROVED AMBIGUITY SELECTION AND RAIN MODELING David Draper Electrical and Computer Engineering Doctor of Philosophy Although generally accurate, the quality of SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer ocean vector winds is compromised by certain natural phenomena and retrieval algorithm limitations. This dissertation addresses three main contributers to scatterometer estimate...

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Analysis of Tall Buildings with Bundled Tube System Subjected to Wind and Earthquake loads

At present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. Although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. In this paper, for the analysis of Framed-Tube systems, a simple method was studied and de...
