The galloping of iced conductors has long been a severe threat to the safety of overhead transmission lines. Compared with normal transmission lines, the ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission lines are more prone to galloping, and the damage caused is more severe. To control the galloping of UHV lines, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of galloping characteristics. In this paper, a large-span 1000-kV UHV transmission line in China is taken as a practical example where an 8-bundled conductor with D-shaped icing is adopted. Galerkin method is employed for the time history calculation. For the wind attack angle range of 0°~180°, the galloping amplitudes in vertical, horizontal, and torsional directions are calculated. Furthermore, the vibration frequencies and galloping shapes are analyzed for the most severe conditions. The results show that the wind at 0°~10° attack angles can induce large torsional displacement, and this range of attack angles is also most likely to occur in reality. The galloping with largest amplitudes in all three directions occurs at the attack angle of 170° where the incoming flow is at the non-iced side, due to the strong aerodynamic instability. In addition, with wind speed increasing, galloping modes with higher frequencies appear and make the galloping shape more complex, indicating strong nonlinear behavior. Based on the galloping amplitudes of three directions, the full range of wind attack angles are divided into five galloping regions of different severity levels. The results obtained can promote the understanding of galloping and provide a reference for the anti-galloping design of UHV transmission lines.

In this paper, the porous metal PM-35 is proposed as the filler material of filled thin-walled tubes (FTTs), and a series of experimental study is conducted to investigate the dynamic behavior and energy absorption performance of PM-35 filled thin-walled tubes under impact loading. Firstly, cylinder solid specimens of PM-35 steel are tested to investigate the impact mechanical behavior by using the Split Hopkinson pressure bar set (SHP); Secondly, the filled thin-walled tube specimens with different geometric parameters are designed and tested to investigate the feasibility of PM-35 steel applied in FTTs by the orthogonal test. According to the results of this research, it is concluded that PM-35 steel is with the excellent characteristics of high energy absorption capacity and low yield strength, which make it a potential filler material for FTTs. The micron-sizes pore structure of PM-35 is the main reason for the macroscopic mechanical behavior of PM-35 steel under impact loading, which makes the material to exhibit greater deformation when subjected to external forces and obviously improve the toughness of the material. In addition, PM-35 steel core-filled thin-wall tube has excellent energy absorption ability under high-speed impact, which shows great application potential in the anti-collision structure facilities of high-speed railway and maglev train. The parameter V0 is most sensitive to the energy absorption of FTT specimens under impact loading, and the sensitivity order of different variations to the energy absorption is loading speed V0>D/t>D/L. The loading efficiency of the FTT is affected by its different geometry, which is mainly determined by the sleeve material and the filling material, which are not sensitive to changes in loading speed V0, D/t and D/L parameters.

도시철도 침목플로팅궤도(STEDEF)의 분기기는 콘크리트 도상에 매입된 목침목과 침목 하부의 침목방진패드로 구성된 방진궤도로서 침목방진패드의 열화 및 이에 따른 스프링강성의 변화가 침목지지조건의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 현재 약 21년의 공용기간 동안 발생된 망간크로싱의 손상수량은 전체 부설수량 대비 약 17%로 조사되었으며, 사용 기간 15년 이후(누적통과톤수 약 5.5억톤)부터 손상 물량이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 실물 망간크로싱과 차륜의 형상을 모사한 3차원 수치모델을 이용한 매개변수 해석(차륜의 위치, 침목지지조건 및 동적 윤중의 크기)을 수행하여 실제 현장에서 발생된 망간크로싱의 손상유형 및 발생원인을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 노즈부 주변 침목에 뜬침목이 발생된 경우, 설계 궤도충격계수가 적용된 동적윤중 작용 시 노즈부 단면의 발생응력이 항복강도를 초과하였으며, 이는 실제 현장에서 발생된 손상위치와 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 망간크로싱의 손상을 최소화하기 위해서는 노즈부 주변의 침목지지조건을 일정한 수준으로 유지하고, 손상된 망간크로싱 교체 시에는 침목 하부 경계조건의 균일성 확보를 위해 침목방진패드를 함께 교체하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 분석되었다.
