Overhead transmission lines are influenced by different factors which are mostly electrical and mechanical. These factors can cause problems for lines, distortions in network and outage of line. In designing transmission lines mechanical properties are evaluated after selecting a suitable conductor and clearance with regard to electrical properties. In lines designing, an important mechanical p...

With the increasing occurrence of extreme weather events, the short circuit and line-breaking faults in transmission lines caused by line galloping have been threatening the security operation of power systems. These faults are also hard to be simulated with current simulation tools. A numerical simulation approach of power systems is presented to simulate the clustered, cascading faults of lon...

Among quadrupedal gaits, the galloping gait has specific characteristics in terms of locomotor behavior. In particular, it shows a left-right asymmetry in gait parameters such as touchdown angle and the relative phase of limb movements. In addition, asymmetric gait parameters show a characteristic dependence on locomotion speed. There are two types of galloping gaits in quadruped animals: the t...

The isomorphism of dorsal periaqueductal gray-evoked defensive behaviors and panic attacks was appraised in the present study. Thresholds of electrically induced immobility, trotting, galloping, jumping, exophthalmus, micturition and defecation were recorded before and after acute injections of anxiolytic, anxiogenic and antidepressant drugs. Antidepressant effects were further assessed 24h aft...

During locomotion up an incline, power is required to elevate the centre of mass. This is provided when the animal's limbs are in contact with the ground. Measurements of stride timing variables from multiple limbs during high speed, over-ground locomotion would enhance our understanding of locomotor powering during changes in terrain. This study measured foot-on and foot-off times from gallopi...

To find a mathematical standard of the galloping mechanism, and it is required to compare the existing mathematical standards on the conductor galloping. In this paper, using the Hamilton principle the continuum cable standard for transmission lines was proposed. Discrete standards of one degree of freedom, two degree of freedom, and three degree of freedom were obtained from the Garlekin funct...

Conductor galloping may cause flashovers and even tower collapses. The available conductor galloping monitoring methods often employ acceleration sensors to measure the conductor translations without considering the conductor twist. In this paper, a new sensor for monitoring conductor galloping of transmission lines based on an inertial measurement unit and wireless communication is proposed. A...

During galloping, many animals display 1:1 coupling of breaths and strides. Locomotor respiratory coupling (LRC) may limit respiratory evaporative heat loss (REHL) by constraining respiratory frequency (f). Five sheep were exercised twice each, according to a five-step protocol: 5 min at the walk, 5 min at the trot (trot1), 10 min at the gallop, 5 min at the trot (trot2), and 5 min at the walk....

A two-dimensional numerical model of a horse is presented that predicts the locomotory behaviors of galloping horses, including how stride frequency, stride length, and metabolic rate change from a slow canter to a fast gallop. In galloping, each limb strikes the ground sequentially, one after the other, with distinct time lags separating hind and forelimb footfalls. In the model, each stance l...
