dc.description.abstract | Un-proper procedure during
installation of the wire-rope could introduce
unusual loading to the skunk-arm of the highvoltage
electrical tower. Understanding of
structural behavior of this kind of structure under
different loading should be helpful to take
preventive measure again possible future
accidental cases. Static and buckling analyses
have been performed using Finite Elements
Analysis (FEA). Skunk-arm structure modelized
by one-dimensional elements, combination
between bar and beam. Beam elements represent
main structure that are flexural members and bar
elements represent stiffener that can only be in
tension or compression loading. Stress distribution
due to maximum static loading did not show an
excessive stress value, it means no yielding occurs
in the structure. But buckling factor show the
maximum loading is close to the critical loading
that may provoke collapse of structure in buckling
mode. The result show the mechanism of structure
failure, which begin with buckling of the lower
members of the skunk. In normal condition, factor
of safety of 2 is taken according to maximum
loading of the structure. | en_US |
