Abstract

This paper presents results of a study of the large amplitude oscillations of aerial conductors called galloping. The work was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the possibility of mitigating the damage caused by these disturbances. A full scale experimental line is described which is so constructed that, without ice formation, it will gallop typically and vigorously under ordinary wind conditions, thus allowing study of various means of mitigation. Data on the behavior of this line are presented. It is hoped that this paper will stimulate further study on this important problem and thus hasten the development of a practical soltution.
