5. Finite element analysis results of proposed all-dielectric self-supporting networking hardware

The value of the Von Mises stress is lower than the yield stress in order to prevent failure of the material under loading. The FEA results are presented in Tables 5.4–5.21 and robustness of suggested hardware for SG ADSS cabling has been portrayed in Figs. 5.12–5.15 with graphical outputs.

Apart from FEA validation, in-house testing of the proposed hardware was also done to check its robustness to deploy the communication infrastructure. This will demonstrate the feasibility of hardware for communication networks. The helical terminating fittings of five wire rods were wrapped and unwrapped on a piece of aerial cable three times successively, ...
