This paper presented an overview on the dynamic analysis and control of the transmission tower-line system in the past forty years. The challenges and future developing trends in the dynamic analysis and mitigation of the transmission tower-line system under dynamic excitations are also put forward. It also reviews the analytical models and approaches of the transmission tower, transmission lin...

Understanding the impulse response of tower grounding systems is a key factor in the determination of the lightning performance of transmission lines and the safety voltages near high voltage towers. This paper reports the results of an experimental study on the impulse characteristics of full-scale transmission line tower footings. The ground potential distribution both at the ground surface a...

27 28 The simulation of center-pivot performance has been the subject of research 29 efforts since the 1960s. Center-pivot models frequently use empirical equations 30 relating pressure and sprinkler radial application pattern. Individual, stationary 31 water application patterns are overlapped and the resulting water application is 32 mapped in the field. Such models use constant tower angular...

This paper is an attempt to Numerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Air Flow in the Yazdi Wind-Towers. Wind Towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in Iranian traditional architecture. This paper is an attempt to evaluating Yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. What is the role of Orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and he...

The transmission line towers are one of the important life line structures in the distribution of power from the source to the various places for several purposes. The predominant external loads which act on these towers are wind and earthquake loads. In this present study tower is analyzed using Indian Standards IS: 875:1987(Wind Load), IS: 802:1995(Structural steel), IS:1893:2002 (Earthquake)...

UNLABELLED Tower-like GaN nanowires were successfully fabricated on Au-coated Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. The tower-like nanowire consisted of a nanowire at the center and microcrystal layers stacked one by one around the nanowire. The tower-like nanowires grew along the [0001] direction, and the exposed surfaces of the microcrystal layers are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: s...

The cable tower of Liede Bridge is a double-column curved-lever arched-beam portal framed structure. Being novel and unique in structure, its cable tower differs in complexity from traditional ones. This paper analyzes the ultimate load capacity of cable tower by adopting the finite element calculations and model tests which indicate that constitutive relations applied here give a better simula...

in this investigation, the performance of a tower for absorption of sulphur dioxide gas into calcium carbonate solution has been studied. the trays had no downcomer and the tower itself was a scaled down pilot from industrial equipment. the industrial scale tower was used for clean up of 110000 m3/hr gas using 40 m3/hr alkaline solution. the study was composed of two parts. in the first section...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in cognitive function, involved in Executive Functions (EFs) such as planning, working memory, and inhibition. Activation in the PFC also occurs during some motor activities. One commonly used tool to assess EF is the Tower of Hanoi, demonstrating sensitivity to PFC dysfunction. However, limited neuroimaging evidence is available to support th...
