In this study, lighter and less costly composite and thermoplastic materials were used instead of reinforced concrete poles used as standard in the construction of energy poles. A modular design was made as it is more advantageous in terms of assembly and ease of use. In this study, the connection elements between the modules of the modular composite energy poles were studied. Three different connection types and analyzes based on these connection types were performed. The results of the maximum displacement and maximum stress that emerged as a result of the analyzes were examined and compared.
The analysis of the composite poles used in the study was carried out by the finite element method and the analyzes were run with the Abaqus program.

Keywords: Finite Elements, Composite Materials, Connectors.

Bu çalýþmada enerji direklerinin yapýmýnda standart olarak kullanýlan betonarme direklerin yerine daha hafif ve maaliyeti az olan kompozit ve termoplastik malzeme kullanýldý. Montaj ve kullaným kolaylýðý açýsýndan daha avantajlý olduðu için modüler tasarým yapýldý. Bu çalýþmada modüler olarak yapýlan kompozit enerji direklerinin modülleri arasýndaki baðlantý elemanlarý çalýþýldý. Üç farklý baðlantý tipi ve bu baðlantý tiplerinin baz alýndýðý analizler yapýldý. Yapýlan analizler sonucunda ortaya çýkan maksimum deplasman ve maksimum gerilme sonuçlarý incelendi ve karþýlaþtýrýldý.
Çalýþmada kullanýlan kompozit direklerin analizi sonlu elemanlar yöntemi gerçekleþtirilip, analizler Abaqus programý ile çalýþtýrdý.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Sonlu Elemanlar, Kompozit Malzeme, Baðlantý Elemanlarý.
