The general expression of Lagrange nonlinear cable element is established firstly by using virtual work principle. On the basis of the theory, the specific expression of a two-node cable element having rotational degree of freedom is derived and the non-linear finite element model of multi-span transmission line for galloping analysis was established. In addition, the aerodynamic coefficient of iced conductor under different wind attack angle was obtained through computational fluid dynamics method. Based on the finite element model and aerodynamic characteristics of the iced conductor, the Runge-Kutta method was applied to carried out non-linear numerical simulation of iced conductor galloping and the Matlab program was compiled. The galloping of the multi-span transmission line crossing Hanjiang River was analyzed. The results indicate that the presented method can simulate the galloping process effectively and it can provide the basic references for further research of preventing galloping.

We present a new concept of the thermoelectric structure that generates microwave and terahertz signals when illuminated by femtosecond optical pulses. The structure consists of a series array of capacitively coupled thermocouples. The array acts as a hybrid type microwave transmission line with anomalous dispersion and phase velocity higher than the velocity of light. This allows for adding up the responces from all the thermocouples in phase. The array is easily integrable with microstrip transmission lines. Dispersion curves obtained from both the lumped network scheme and numerical simulations are presented. The connection of the thermocouples is a composite right/left-handed transmission line, which can receive terahertz radiation from the transmission line ports. The radiation of the photon to the surface of the thermocouple structure causes a voltage difference with the bandwidth of terahertz. We examined a lossy composite right/left-handed transmission line to extract the circuit elements. The calculated properties of the design are extracted by employing commercial software package CST STUDIO SUITE.
