Study on the Effect different materials in Traffic signal pole using numerical simulation approach

Abstract

Traffic signal poles play a role of mitigating traffic congestions in cities. It slender structure which is usually characteristics with high deformation. It is exposed to load, various environmental factor and natural hazards. The aspiration of modal analysis in structure mechanics is to negotiate the natural frequency of an object or structure in times of free vibration. Conventional poles are replaced with I and T section by applying various material such as structural steel (SS), stainless steel (STS) and grey cast iron (CI). By predicting the ultimate section with low deformation. The ultimate material is endowed and fracture behaviour is prompt, substitute crack is inserted in the maximum stress spot and life cycle of the ultimate material section is deliberate.
