Nonlinear vibration of iced cable under wind excitation using three-degree-of-freedom model

High-voltage transmission line possesses a typical suspended cable structure that produces ice in harsh weather.Moreover,transversely galloping will be excited due to the irregular structure resulting from the alternation of lift force and drag force.In this paper,the nonlinear dynamics and internal resonance of an iced cable under wind excitation are investigated.Considering the excitation caused by pulsed wind and the movement of the support,the nonlinear governing equations of motion of the iced cable are established using a three-degree-of-freedom model based on Hamilton's principle.By the Galerkin method,the partial differential equations are then discretized into ordinary differential equations.The method of multiple scales is then used to obtain the averaged equations of the iced cable,and the principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance and the 2:1 internal resonance are considered.The numerical simulations are performed to investigate the dynamic response of the iced cable.It is found that there exist periodic,multi-periodic,and chaotic motions of the iced cable subjected to wind excitation.
