Title: Influence of Joint Stiffness on the Whole Structural Stiffness of Monopole
Abstract: The stiffness of flange joints and slip joints which is usually used as the connections of monopoles are weaker than that of continuous pole structure.However,the current calculation method of monopoles assumes that the pole is a continuous stiffness structure,which means not considering the influence of joint stiffness.In order to get a more correct calculation to provide reference to engineering application,the stiffness of joints should be taken into consideration.The FEM program ANSYS can be used to analyze the stiffness of different kinds of joints.With proper simplification of joints,ANSYS can also be used to analyze the stiffness of the whole tower,considering the effect of joint stiffness.
