AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the mechanical load parameters for aging tests of composite insulators lack physical basis and cannot establish a quantitative relationship with actual operating wind speed, resulting in insufficient comparability and extrapolation reliability of experimental results.
By establishing a quantitative mapping chain from actual operating wind speed to laboratory mechanical load, wind load and gravity load are calculated using line parameters and fluid mechanics. The bending stress of the composite insulator core rod is determined by combining finite element simulation, and then the stress level under specific wind speeds is simulated in the laboratory.
It provides a direct and quantitative method for determining experimental load parameters, ensuring that the experimental results are consistent with the actual working conditions, avoiding mechanical damage to the test specimen, and has good versatility and reliability.
