Angles are extensively used in latticed transmission tower. Initial imperfections have a significant impact on the compressive instability and failure of angle components. To study the impact of different initial imperfections on the compressive bearing capacity, general-purpose finite element software ANSYS is used. With shell element SHELL181, selecting angle L200×20 of the slenderness ratio of 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120, the bearing performance analysis with initial imperfections is conducted, including initial bending, section defects, initial eccentricity, residual stress, and a combination of imperfections. At the same time, for the angle components of the optimal slenderness ratio of 40 and slenderness ratio of 80, under the single influence of initial bending, section defects and residual stress, how the size of the value of the imperfections affects the bearing performance is investigated.

The Impact

Ice shedding causes transmission lines to vibrate violently, which induces a sharp increase in the longitudinal unbalanced tension of the lines, even resulting in the progressive collapse of transmission towers in serious cases, which is a common ice-based disaster for transmission tower-line systems. Based on the actual engineering characteristics of a 500 kV transmission line taken as the research object, a finite element model of a two-tower, three-line system is established by commercial ANSYS finite element software. In the modeling process, the uniform mode method is used to introduce the initial defects, and the collapse caused by ice shedding and its influencing parameters are systematically studied. The results show that the higher the ice-shedding height is, the greater the threat of ice shedding to the system; furthermore, the greater the span is, the shorter the insulator length and the greater the dynamic response of the line; the impact of ice shedding should be considered in the design of transmission towers.

Utilizing general finite element software ANSYS, the finite element computing model of the steel spatial tubular joint is built, which is used to analyze the mechanical properties under dead loads through changing its design parameters. According to the obtained and compared consequences, the different design parameters including stiffening ring thickness, cross-shaped ribbed plate thickness and stiffening ring length exert different influence on ultimate bearing capacity of the steel spatial tubular joint. Specifically, the ultimate bearing capacity under dead loads is affected by setting stiffening ring and changing cross-shaped ribbed plate thickness significantly. In contrast, if the thickness and length of stiffening ring are changed, the impact is insignificant. The results and conclusion can provide reference which is useful to optimize the design of steel spatial tubular joint in such category.

An anchorage device is an integral part of the prestressed Glulam beams. Therefore, its rationality and practicability have significant effects on the mechanical performance of the prestressed beams. To investigate the impact of the anchorage devices on the bearing capacity and stiffness of the prestressed beams, this paper compared and analyzed four kinds of anchors in detail through the finite element software. The results showed that when the initial mid-span deflection was 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm, the bearing capacity of prestressed beams with four anchorage devices was 80.37–177.24%, 93.56–182.51%, and 95.62–194.60% higher than that of ordinary Glulam beam, respectively. When the initial mid-span top prestresses were 1 MPa, 1.5 MPa, and 2 MPa, the bearing capacity of prestressed beams with four anchorage devices was 101.71–172.57%, 105.85–175.88%, and 109.64–180.87% higher than that of ordinary Glulam beam, respectively. In addition, based on the simulation results, the prestressed beam with the external anchorage had the highest bearing capacity and stiffness. The deformation capacity of the beam with boot anchorage was the largest. The stress distribution of the beam installed under beam anchorage was the most uniform, and the beam with slotted anchorage was easy to cause stress concentration at the notch. Finally, based on the outstanding performance of the external anchorage, it was selected to carry out one experiment, and the experimental result showed that the simulation could predict the damage model and load–deflection relationship of the prestressed beams well.

Types of tapered piles are widely applied in tank foundation consolidation, but their inherent deficiencies in design and construction limit their further promotion. Vortex compression pile is a novel nodular pile. Compared with the traditional equal-section pile, vortex compression nodular pile is featured by stronger bearing capacity and slighter settlement. In this paper, the model test results showed that vortex compression nodular pile can greatly improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement. Through the finite element software ABAQUS analysis the bearing characteristics of equal-section pile foundation and vortex-compression nodular pile foundation were compared. The three-dimensional solid model was established by ABAQUS finite element software. The impact of cushion modulus, cushion thickness, vertical load, pile modulus, soil modulus around the pile on the bearing capacity of the vortex-compression nodular pile foundation were studied.

This paper, using the finite element software ABAQUS, establishes the model of laser shock peening (LSP) of TC4 titanium alloy, and analyzes the influence of different parameters on the residual stress of TC4 titanium alloy and plastic deformation. The results show that LSP can make the surface of TC4 titanium alloy have large compressive stress and plastic deformation, hardness and prolong the fatigue life of materials. Laser energy and the impact frequency are the main factor of surface residual stress effects. The multi-point LSP can perform processing enhanced in surface area, and form residual compressive stress on the surface of the material and in a certain depth.

Abstract As an important part of power grid equipment, transmission towers are in direct contact with the external environment for a long time. As a coastal city in China, Fujian has been affected by marine environment and industrial pollution for a long time, which directly affects the safety of transmission towers in long-term service. In order to explore the changes of the ultimate bearing capacity of the tower structure after corrosion, this paper uses finite element software to analyse the mechanical properties of the tower structure during long-term service, and finds that the 45° wind direction is the control condition, and the overall stiffness of the tower decreases with the growth of corrosion time, and the increment of tower top displacement reaches 7% at 12 years of corrosion. The corrosion-sensitive members of the tower were clearly identified, and their stress ratios increased from 0.78, 0.79, and 0.83 to 0.97, 0.98, and 0.99, respectively, at 12 years of corrosion.
