Introduction
Multi-wire metal strands are commonly used in civil structures as tensioning components of concrete structures and in cable systems of cable-stayed and suspension bridges

Overhead Transmission Lines (OHTL)
Many of the overhead power supply faults occurs due to failure in transmission lines

Overhead Transmission Lines
Periodic inspections are carried out using X-ray equipment, or visually with the help of helicopters.

Overhead Transmission Lines
Airborne inspections are specially a dangerous task due to sun glare, cloud cover, close proximity to power lines and the rapidly changing visual circumstances.
X-ray inspections has exhibited good results; however, they require the deployment of personnel or a robot to operate the system.

Objective: SHM via guided waves
Continuous and autonomous monitoring of OHTL could reduce risk to human pilots & expedite the inspection process

Guided waves in rods
• Tubes and rods excel as wave-guides, propagation is complex due to their curved geometries
• Travelling of the waves can be both around the cylinder and along it, e.g. there can be spiral waves
• Dispersive, i.e. phase velocities dependent on the frequency and thickness or diameter, and possess modal behaviour
• The number of modes increase with frequency

Waves propagation are related to the frequency of the wave and diameter of the rod

Signal processing
Non stationary signals possess its average power increasing continuously or one of its components steadily increase in frequency
Guided wave signals are non stationary; hence, the FFT does not provide enough information for its analysis

Wavelet transform
The wavelet transform addresses the general problem of time-frequency analysis, and provides the means to analyse non-stationary signals. In this work the Gabor wavelet was used.

Guided wave modes identification (DisperseTM) An analytical solution that can describe the wave propagation in
multi-wire cables does not exist.

Multiple-wire cables make the
interaction of the guided
wave modes complicated
to distinguish.
L(0,1) was predominantly; however, some energy was identified as F(1,1).

Radial and axial displacements for the L(0,1)Longitudinal ultrasound transducers ,with ideal uniform pressure distribution, are employed in the experiment; hence, L(0,1) mode in aluminium and steel rods are expected to be excited, which is composed by its axial (uz) and radial (ur) displacements .

Energy transfer analysis
An energy-transfer analysis, based on radial displacements, has been used to model wave propagation in two rods that are in contact.

FEM simulation
Transient analysis of guided waves propagation in real multi-wire cables using finite elements 3-D models is computationally very demanding
The approach considered consists of a simplified 3-D model. The model consists only of two straight rods of 70mm lengths made of aluminum and steel, which possess the diameters of the ACSR cable under test, and a friction contact line between them was specified .
Energy transfer, due to contact in between rods, caused by radial displacements is considered to have a significant role in guided waves propagation.
SIX SIGMA
22
FEM simulation (two aluminium rods)
Nodal forces of 10 N were applied at the base of the rods. The contact between rods is specified as bonded, which the nodes on the two edges are matched and are in perfect contact during the analysis..
Axisymmetric longitudinal guided wave propagation and mode shapes, very likely L(0,1), can be observed, which agrees the model.

FEM simulation (aluminium & steel rods)
Nodal forces of 10 N were applied at the base of the rods and the contact between rods and the coefficient of friction was set as previous model.
Guided wave propagation and mode shapes is non axisymmetric, and could correspond not only to the longitudinal mode L(0,1), but also to the flexural mode F(1,1).

ConclusionsThis study analyses how guided wave energy is propagated in a
multiple wire ACSR cable. Experimentally, L(0,1) and F(1,1) modes were identified using dispersion curves and the wavelet transform.
An energy-transfer model, using a two rod system, was developed to approximate the coupling mechanism between adjoining rods through friction.
Energy transference due to inter-wire coupling caused by radial displacements is considered to have an important role in the excitation not only of longitudinal modes, but also of flexural modes.
3-D FEM simulation results that visualize de mechanism of flexural and longitudinal modes generation are adequately related to experimental measurements. The energy-transfer model approach serves as basis for future studies of multiple-wire ACSR cables with damage
