Applicability of Rain Flow Method to Fatigue Life Span Estimation of Overhead Contact Wire

Last updated on 04 January 2013 5:40

The rain flow method has been put forward as a method for waveform counting to estimate what the fatigue life span would be under actual waveform stress. The authors carried out experiments to test its applicability to hard drawn copper contact wire. In order to consider the effect of mean...
