Wind-induced response of a tension leg platform

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1997
Dynamic response studies of a tension leg platform (TLP) are carried out in time domain to investigate the influence of non-linearities due to the hydrodynamic drag force, variable cable tension, variable submergence, long excursions and fluctuating wind together with the effect of coupling.

Wind-induced responses of Beijing National Stadium

Wind and Structures An International Journal, 2011
The wind-induced mean, background and resonant responses of Beijing National Stadium are investigated in this paper. Based on the concepts of potential and kinetic energies, the mode participation factors for the background and the resonant components are presented and the dominant modes are identified.

Human Response to Wind-Induced Motion of Buildings

Journal of the Structural Division, 1973
The various aspects of human response to tall building wind-induced motion are considered—including the results of two building occupant surveys. A rational format for including the wind-motion-discomfort issue in the design of tall buildings is presented, and a tentative criterion is proposed.

Wind-induced structural response of a large telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
In May of 2000, the construction progress of the Gemini South 8m telescope at Cerro Pachon in Chile was such that the telescope and dome were installed and able to move, but the primary mirror had not been installed. This provided a unique opportunity to make extensive tests of the structure in its nearly-completed state, including a modal impact ...

Wind Induced Dynamic Response Calculations

2014
It is in the following taken for granted that the main wind direction throughout the entire span of the structure is perpendicular to the direction of its span. The wind velocity vector is split into three fluctuating orthogonal components, U in the main wind direction, and v and w in the across wind horizontal and vertical directions.

Wind-induced response of a large cantilevered roof

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1999
Abstract The subject of this study is to clarify aerodynamic properties of a large cantilevered roof. We conducted free vibration experiments in order to investigate effects of various parameters such as mass, pitch angle, and damping ratio to wind-induced vibration of the roof.

Wind induced response of an elevated steel water tank

Wind and Structures, 2001
The paper describes the results of the monitoring of an elevated steel water-tank with unusualrnshape, 85 m high and 40 m wide. The research was carried out analysing both the static and dynamicrnbehaviour under wind actions. The instruments used (some of which were employed for the first time forrnthis project) are described and the data processing ...

Wind induced dynamic response of the Wye bridge

Engineering Structures, 1980
Abstract As part of the research effort to improve the understanding of the effect of wind on bridges, the Transport and Road Research Laboratory (TRRL) has measured the wind-induced dynamic response of the 235 m span cable stayed box girder bridge that carries the M4 motorway over the River Wye.

Wind-Induced Response Analysis of Steel Tower Structure

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
In this paper, autoregressive (AR) method is firstly introduced to simulate wind speed time series. The agreement of the simulated wind speed spectrum to the target spectrum is verified. A 42m-high steel tower subjected to wind load is analyzed using ANSYS.

WIND INDUCED STATIC AND DYNAMIC RESPONSE CALCULATIONS

2006
The wind induced dynamic response calculations dealt with in this chapter focus on structural displacements for a line-like type of bridge structure. The calculations of corresponding cross sectional forces are shown in chapter 7.
