This paper presents a strain analysis in transmission line cables caused by mechanical vibrations... more This paper presents a strain analysis in transmission line cables caused by mechanical vibrations induced mainly by the wind action that can cause the fatigue rupture of the cable. The tests were performed on a test bench that consists of two spans of 9 and 12 meters respectively, and it was built using elements of transmission lines (suspension clamps, insulators, anchoring towers, etc). The vibrations were generated by an electrodynamics shaker. Strains were measured by means of micro-electric strain gauges set in 04 wires of the cross section of the cable at the vicinity of the suspension clamp, which presents severe levels of dynamic stresses. The cable bending amplitude was measured with two laser transducers. The bending amplitude was converted in strain with the Poffenberger-Swart equation. The comparison between the measured strain and the predicted theatrically showed RMS errors of 31% and 48% for axial load levels of 20%UTS and 30%UTS, respectively.
