Experimental and analytical study of galloping forces on support structures

Abstract

William D. James for serving on my graduate committee and their help in this research. I express my utmost gratitude and my deepest appreciation to my parents for their patience, care and advice, and would like to thank all the people who encouraged me throughout my work. I share all my accomplishments to my beautiful wife, Penning Dyer, and my two handsome sons, Samuel and Enoch Wu.

Development of computer software for simulation of transmission line dynamic behavior

“…Similar work was done by Wu [54], who developed an analytical model to calculate the conductor end forces caused by a galloping conductor using numerical analysis, and compared it with experimental results. In the experimental model, a support excitation was used to generate galloping in lieu of a wind timnel test.…”
