Abstract

During the operation of transmission lines, the vortex-induced vibration of steel pipe tower is one of the main causes of fatigue cracks in joint parts. In order to reveal the fatigue failure mechanism of typical joints of steel tube tower, the S-N curves of the joints were obtained, and the fatigue tests of two typical joints of steel tube tower were carried out. The section model specimens were designed, and their equivalence was verified by numerical calculation. The loading device and loading system were designed, and fatigue tests were carried out for C-type nodes and X-type nodes. The results show that the fatigue hot spot of typical joints is located at the toe of the welded joint of the structure. After repeated action of fatigue load, fatigue cracks are formed at the fatigue hot spot, and when the cracks reach the critical size, the specimens break rapidly. According to the change curve of strain amplitude at the first extrapolation point, the fatigue failure process of the node can be roughly divided into elastic stage, plastic stage and failure stage, and the loading times corresponding to the turning point of strain amplitude can be used as the fatigue life of the node. The hot spot stress amplitude-fatigue life curves of C-type and X-type joints with 95% survival rate are obtained, which can provide reference for engineering design of UHV transmission lines.
