Research on Non-destructive Testing of Angle Steel in Power Transmission Towers
The assessment of structural integrity in critical infrastructure, particularly high-voltage transmission line lattice towers constructed primarily from angled steel sections, presents profound and persistent engineering challenges. These towers are subjected to relentless, complex loading regimes—including static weight, dynamic wind forces, thermal fluctuations, and seismic activity—all contributing to the initiation and propagation of localized defects, chiefly…
